SK F485C Wire to Fiber Converter

Silent Knight has released the SK-F485C Wire to Fiber Converter, which will significantly increase wire runs between fire alarm control panels and power supplies. The converter also will provide a major boost in surge protection. It is the first wire to fiber converter to be UL listed for a non-proprietary line of fire alarm systems and sold over-the-counter at security equipment wholesalers nationwide. It is an ideal solution for large facilities and multi-building campuses seeking non-proprietary fire alarm systems. The new fiber converter allows one Intelliknight addressable fire alarm control panel from Silent Knight to be extended over fiber-optic cable to protect multiple buildings while severely limiting the risk of damages from electrical surges.
