The FIB-1000 POTTER Fiber Interface Bridge enables seamless integration between fiber optic and conventional copper-based fire alarm communication networks. This specialized interface device extends system reach across large campuses and multi-building facilities while maintaining signal integrity over extended distances. Advanced signal conversion technology ensures reliable data transmission without degradation, supporting addressable device communication across diverse infrastructure. The bridge accommodates standard SLC loop protocols, allowing transparent integration into existing POTTER control panel architectures. Engineered for mission-critical applications, it provides the connectivity flexibility required by complex institutional and industrial fire safety systems. Installation simplicity and robust performance make it an efficient solution for modernizing distributed detection networks across geographically dispersed properties.

The FIB-1000 Fiber Interface Bridge enables the RS-485 P-Link bus to be transformed to or from a fiber optic connection. This device offers complete supervision and supports both Class B and Class A configurations. The FIB-1000RM version comes with a 19-inch rack-mount kit, making it suitable for installation in standard equipment racks. Each module is attached to a proprietary Stacker Bracket, ensuring both secure and convenient mounting.
