Advanced MXP-635-A Fibre Optic Convertor - Active

The Advanced MXP-635-A is an active fibre optic converter for MxPro 5 and Axis EN fire panel networks. Used with SFP modules, it acts as a full fibre or hybrid copper/fibre modem for both radial and ring topology networks, designed for reliable data communication under the performance criteria of BS 5839-1.

The active version adds fibre optic system monitoring, diagnostics and reporting through the iView graphical user interface.

Key features

• Intelligent fibre optic communication interface with dynamic network management
• Independent reporting with Class A communication redundancy and multiple fault tolerance
• Hot-swappable SFP modules: multi-mode (up to 2km), single-mode (up to 20km) or bi-directional (up to 20km)
• One modem routes both in and out ports, so only one is needed per panel
• Galvanic isolation on the ports
• Adjustable RS-485 termination on ports B and C to match the loop cabling segment
• Single switch configuration for fibre optic or RS-485 media
• Simple LED status indication for fibre and RS-485
• Redundant power supply for increased reliability
• DIN rail mounting
