Wired Reader Extenders

Cypress Wired Reader Extenders

A Wiegand reader run has a practical cable limit of a few hundred feet. A reader extender takes the credential data past that by converting it to something that travels: fiber, Ethernet or RS-485.

The Suprex wired range is listed by communication link. Fiber optic versions are listed in multi-mode with ST connectors and in multi-mode and single-mode, Ethernet versions run over existing network cable, and RS-485 twisted pair versions cover the longest copper runs. All support 4 to 248 bits, so a card format is not a constraint.

Each is supplied as a remote unit and a central unit together, with supervised single door and gate versions listed where the opening has to report status. Replacement remote, central and board only parts are listed separately, which is what a service call actually needs.
