Description
Core Product Summary (Brand / Model / Key Attributes)
The ComNet FVR110M1 (commonly referenced as FVR110M) is a multimode optical fiber video receiver and data transceiver from the FVT/FVR110 series. It receives 10-bit digitally encoded EIA RS-250C quality video and supports bi-directional data transmission over a single multimode optical fiber.
The unit is designed for CCTV and surveillance applications. It is compatible with major camera manufacturers and supports RS-232, RS-422, 2-wire or 4-wire RS-485 data interfaces, as well as up-the-coax protocols including Panasonic Proteus, Pelco Coaxitron, and Bosch Bilinx. The receiver is part of a matched transmitter/receiver pair (FVT110 transmitter + FVR110 receiver) and can be used in stand-alone, rack-mount, or DIN-rail configurations.

Detailed Product Overview
The ComNet FVR110M1 is the multimode receiver unit in the FVT/FVR110 series of fiber-optic video and data transmission products. It works with a matching FVT110 transmitter to carry high-quality 10-bit digitally encoded video together with bi-directional serial data over a single multimode optical fiber.
Video performance meets or exceeds EIA RS-250C short-haul transmission requirements, delivering broadcast-quality images suitable for professional CCTV systems. The module accepts standard composite video and is compatible with NTSC, PAL, and SECAM camera systems.
In addition to conventional serial data (RS-232, RS-422, and 2- or 4-wire RS-485), the series supports up-the-coax control protocols from major manufacturers. Time-base correction enables reliable up-the-coax operation over extended distances. Bi-color LED indicators provide clear status for power, optical link, video, and data activity.
The FVR110M1 is supplied in the ComNet ComFit housing, allowing flexible installation as a stand-alone unit, a rack-mount card, or (with an optional adaptor) on DIN rail. It is intended for use in security, surveillance, and industrial monitoring systems where high-quality video and control data must be transmitted over fiber.
