Pelco FRD4M1ST 4-Channel Fiber Data Receiver MM ST
The Pelco FRD4M1ST is a 4-channel bidirectional fiber data receiver designed for multimode fiber installations with ST simplex connectors. This accessory enables reliable RS-485/RS-422 serial data transmission from multiple PTZ control, alarm, and serial command channels simultaneously over fiber optic media, making it ideal for extended-distance surveillance deployments where copper connectivity is impractical.
Key Features
- 4-channel bidirectional data-only fiber receiver
- Multimode fiber with ST simplex connectors
- RS-485/RS-422 half-duplex protocol support
- Supports PTZ control, alarm, and serial command channels
- NDAA Section 889 compliant for regulated installations
- Multimode fiber coverage up to approximately 2 km
- Requires pairing with FTD4M1ST transmitter for complete system
Technical Highlights
The bidirectional architecture eliminates the need for separate transmit and receive fiber strands per channel, reducing overall fiber requirements and installation complexity. Install this receiver at the headend or monitoring location while the complementary FTD4M1ST transmitter is deployed at the camera end. Multimode fiber is suitable for campus and intra-building runs, providing cost-effective connectivity over longer distances where traditional copper serial cables are unreliable.
Applications
Ideal for enterprise security installations requiring multi-channel serial data distribution across fiber networks. Commonly deployed in campus surveillance systems, industrial facilities, and government installations where NDAA compliance is mandatory. For single-channel requirements, the FRD1M1ST offers a more economical alternative. Organizations needing combined video and data transmission should evaluate the FSV/FRV transceiver series.
Warranty
Backed by a 1-year manufacturer warranty and supported through Pelco's specialty distributor network.
