FCDC2
Flowire 24VDC Converter - non-PoE for use with Ex equipment
The FCDC2 is a Flowire device particularly useful for Ex devices such as the EAPFX and TFIX products. FCDC2 removes the power-forwarding feature of the FCDC1 (PoE, type 2) to allow for easier integration with central equipment and for avoiding ground-loop and ground fault issues without any proprietary equipment or modification of the device.
- One single-paired cable can be used to distribute power and data
- The cable hauls can be longer, reducing the need for switches and/or repeaters
- Up to 10 Flowire devices can be connected to the same 2-wire network structure
- Existing infrastructure can be used, even though only a single pair is available, which reduces the total cost of retrofit projects
- The Flowire Converter can be used with any Ethernet enabled device
The Flowire Converter enables Ethernet to run on the same two wires as power, providing simpler cabling and opens up for
longer cable hauls. The Flowire Converter is also capable of powering Ethernet devices attached to it, such as CCTV and IP
intercom stations.
