The EVOLVE-NET-TP is a plug-and-play SFP network controller that extends the Kidde Evolve fire alarm network over twisted pair copper cable. At 2Mbps shared TX/RX, it gives installers a clean path to interconnect Evolve panels and nodes in buildings where pulling new fiber isn't practical or cost-effective.
Built for the fire alarm installer
This SFP module drops into the Evolve network card's SFP slot and immediately starts carrying the Evolve network protocol over standard structured cabling. For retrofit jobs where existing twisted pair runs are already in place, it eliminates the need for fiber infrastructure - saving time and materials on the install. Assembled in the United States with full Kidde Commercial support.

- Assembled in USA: domestic manufacturing with full Kidde Commercial support
System requirements
Requires a Kidde Evolve fire alarm control panel with an Evolve network card equipped with an SFP slot. Confirm run length and cable category against Kidde's Evolve network design guide before specifying - distance and cable quality affect performance.
