American Fibertek Enhances Its Fibre Transmission Product Line

American Fibertek will introduce its new range of fiber optic transmission products at ASIS 2008

Reaffirming its commitment to legacy systems and their leading line of core fibre optic transmission products designed specifically for security applications, American Fibertek, Inc. is displaying several new point-to-point fibre transmission solutions here at ASIS 2008.  The new products include unique new contact closure systems that do not require any soldering, as well as a selection of video transceivers with features like 10-bit digital video transmission, bi-directional communications, multi-channel capacity for video with data, Ethernet and audio all on one fibre with remote monitoring capabilities. 

"Even in today's age of networked systems, fibre transmission systems continue to be a highly efficient means of transmitting video, audio and data on both analog and IP platforms" said Jack Fernandes, President and CEO of AFI.  "The integration of core fibre transmission technologies on a network platform delivers the unlimited bandwidth required for today's advanced video surveillance and security applications employing multiple cameras and recorders."

New fibre optic transmission products introduced at ASIS 2008 include:

81/82SL Series 8 and 16 Channel Contact Closure Systems are available in single mode and multimode configurations, and are unique in that they do not require any soldering.  The 81/82SL Series are compatible with AFI's Afinety firmware-driven monitoring system to access the status of any AFI digital fibre optic system and the accompanying connected cameras, using a standard web browser.

91600 Series Fibre Multi-Channel System provides 16 channel input and output of 10 bit digitized video over one multimode fibre at a very low installed cost.  Offers completely transparent operation with any manufacturers' cameras and monitors and does not require any field adjustments at installation or thereafter.  The units also feature diagnostic indicators to provide instant visual status indication, or interface with AFI's Afinety remote monitoring system.

91685 Series Fibre Multi-Channel System provides 16 channel input and output of 10 bit digitized video over two channels of multi-protocol data on one multimode fibre at a very low installed cost.  Offers completely transparent operation with any manufacturers' cameras and monitors and does not require any field adjustments at installation or thereafter.  The units also feature diagnostic indicators to provide instant visual status indication, or interface with AFI's Afinety remote monitoring system.

94887SL Series Multi-Channel Transceivers feature 48 channels and transmit 10-bit digitized video with bi-directional Ethernet, multi-protocol data, bi-directional contact closures and bi-directional audio over a single mode optical fibre.  The series offers completely transparent operation with any manufacturer's cameras and monitors, and does not require any field adjustments.  The 94887SL Series is also compatible with AFI's Afinety remote monitoring system.
