Extends two channels of Partyline or Digital Matrix intercom over a single strand of fiber
Get Datasheet
Telecast's CommLink™ is a fiber optic transceiver system that carries two intercom channels seamlessly over a single strand of fiber spanning distances of more than 30 kilometers. With advanced digital noise elimination circuitry, users won't know that they aren't connected by traditional copper wires.
The system works with the industry's most common two-wire partyline intercom systems, as well as most digital matrix-style four-wire intercom systems. All functionality of each intercom system is transported over the fiber link, including call signalling, matrix panel alphanumeric data, and remote station controls. With its advanced auto-nulling hybrid technology, the system acts as a noiseless hybrid between a four-wire matrix system and a two-wire partyline system.
The CommLink unit can be powered from the partyline system, or the CommLink unit can be powered with local 12VDC and acts as a power supply for up to ten intercom belt packs.
