CNFE3FX Switch Contact Closure
The Comnet CNFE3FX1TX2C[/M] series is an industrially hardened three-port intelligent switch with light management functionality and an integrated contact closure server. The 100BASE-FX port supports conventional CAT-5e/CAT-6 copper or optical transmission media by selection of the appropriate ComNet SFP* module. A summary fault alarm provides indication via a form c relay in the event of loss of optical link or operating power. The 10/100BASE-TX ports support both auto-negotiation and automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover for full and half-duplex operation; manual MDI/MDI-X switching is not required. The integrated contact closure server is available with 4 or 8 channels and supports individual user selectable wet or dry inputs. Form A relay outputs feature individual user selection of normally open or normally closed operation via the built-in web GUI.
- Full duplex transmission of 10/100 Mbps Ethernet: (2) 10/100BASE-TX ports and (1) 100BASE-FX SFP port
- Extended ambient operating temperature range of -40˚ C to +75˚ C, for use in virtually any environment. Optional conformal coating for humidity with condensation or airborne particulate matter conditions
- Uses interchangeable SFP for fiber type, distance and connector (Ordered separately)
- Integrated contact closure server supports wet/dry inputs and user selectable normally open or normally closed form A relay outputs.
- SNMP v1/v2c for network management
FDC8NLR 8-channel Contact Closure
The Comnet FDC8NLR 8-Channel Contact Closure Receiver unit provides up to eight independent normally open (NO) dry contact closures over one multimode or single-mode optical fiber, when used in conjunction with the companion ComNet model FDC8 Transmitter unit. Microprocessor-based logic in the FDC8 transmitter detects a customer-furnished switch or contact closure, and encodes the closure into robust data packets that are mapped and transmitted to the FDC8NLR Receiver.
- Receive up to eight contact closures over one optical fiber
- Eight channel Point-to-Point architecture
- Eight solid-state relays
- Built-in relay surge protection
- Microprocessor-based logic in receiver unit eliminate random contact closure status in electrically noisy environments.

CNGE24MS
The Comnet CNGE24MS-OB is a Managed Ethernet Switch with sixteen 10/100/1000 Mbps TX ports and eight 100/1000 Mbps SFP* ports that use ComNet SFPs for fiber type, connector type and distance. This switch also includes two sets of bypass ports that ensure network integrity during power loss or maintenance. The CNGE24MS-OB is IEEE802.3-compliant and offers multiple Ethernet redundancy protocols (ComRing, C-Ring, and MSTP/RSTP/STP) which protect your applications from network interruptions or temporary malfunctions by redirecting transmission within the network. Unlike most Ethernet switches, these environmentally hardened units are designed for deployment in difficult operating environments, and are available for use with either conventional CAT-5e copper or optical transmission media.

SFP Modules
The Comnet selection of MSA Compliant Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) modules allows for an optical or electrical interface when using a ComNet managed switch, unmanaged switch or media converter. These interchangeable SFP modules are available for use with copper media, multimode optical fiber, or single mode optical fiber.
The optical fiber SFP modules are available in Fast Ethernet one and two fiber versions and Gigabit Ethernet one and two fiber versions. They also are available with LC or SC optical connectors. The ComNet SFP modules offer different wavelengths and optical power budget to allow distances from 300 meters to 120 kilometers. These SFP modules are industrially rated to perform in the most difficult operating environments.
