The SMXLO2 is a standard output single mode fiber optic transceiver that plugs into the NOCF network card. It carries the network link between panels over single mode fiber using duplex SC connectors.
Built for the commercial fire installer
Fiber is the practical choice for panel-to-panel network runs across a campus or between buildings: it carries distance that copper will not, and it sidesteps the ground potential differences and induced noise that separate structures introduce. Single mode is the long-haul variant of that. This is the standard output version; a high output transceiver is available where the link budget demands it.
Duplex SC is the connector to specify when ordering fiber terminations for this device. Listed by FDNY, ULC, CB, CC, and UL.
Key features
- Single mode fiber: for the longer panel-to-panel runs that multimode will not reach
- Duplex SC connectors
- Plugs into the NOCF network card, no separate enclosure required
- Standard output variant of the transceiver range
System requirements
Requires an NOCF network card in the host panel. Fiber must be single mode and terminated with duplex SC connectors. Confirm the optical link budget against the run length before specifying the standard output version, since a high output transceiver is available for longer or higher-loss links.
