The EVOLVE-NET-SM is a dual-fiber single-mode SFP network controller for Kidde EVOLVE Series fire alarm panels, built for campus-scale networking. Standard-power output over a 9/125 (G.652) single-mode fiber pair reaches up to 8.7 miles (14 km) between panels.

Built for the commercial fire installer

EVOLVE panels support peer-to-peer networking over mixed media — Ethernet, twisted-pair copper, or fiber — and the SFP form factor means the network controller is a field-swappable module rather than a fixed onboard interface. Single-mode fiber networking sidesteps copper distance limits and gives electrical isolation between buildings, which matters on campus jobs with separate service entrances or lightning exposure between structures.

Key features

  • Dual-fiber single-mode networking for multi-building and campus jobs
  • Up to 8.7 mi. (14 km) on a 9/125 (G.652) single-mode fiber pair
  • SFP form factor — field-installs into the EVOLVE panel's network option slot
  • Electrical isolation between panels that copper networking can't provide

FAQs

What does the EVOLVE-NET-SM do?
It's an SFP network controller module that networks EVOLVE Series panels together over dual single-mode fiber, supporting runs up to 8.7 miles (14 km) between panels.
How does this differ from the EVOLVE-NET-SMH?
Both use dual single-mode fiber (9/125, G.652). The EVOLVE-NET-SM is the standard-power version rated for up to 8.7 mi. (14 km); the EVOLVE-NET-SMH is the high-power version rated for up to 24.8 mi. (40 km).
