Fiber Optic Trunk Cables

The ComNet FDC1 single-channel and FDC2 dual-channel modems are designed to

detect and report a breakage or the loss of optical signal in either multimode or single-

mode fiber plants. Featuring a self-contained transmitter and receiver, these units

provide an optical output that is transmitted continuously through a customer-furnished

fiber loop, where it returns to the internal receiver section. Should the optical path be lost

through a deliberate or unintentional breakage of the fiber, relay contacts in the modem

immediately change their state and report the loss of optical signal. These contacts

are user-configurable as either normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC), and may

be utilized for either a local or remote indication of cable plant tampering, damage, or

failure. The dual-channel version contains two independent transmitter and receiver

units in one compact package, and is ideal for continuously monitoring the optical status

of two separate fiber loops.
