The xDW-GS-4C digital optical converters are universally applicable for extending RS485/422 bus systems via single-mode or multi-mode optical fibres. Furthermore, they enable a single digital signal to be transmitted in both directions over the same fibre.
The devices are developed and manufactured in the EU and comply with NDAA requirements.
These converters are not compatible with the xDW-S-4C!

FAQ
Are the xDW-(G)S-4C converters compatible with the ESSERNET bus?
Yes, they are. We tested compatibility on ESSER IQ8000 C/M EPS control panels.
Are the xDW-(G)S-4C converters compatible with the RS485 bus on JABLOTRON JA-106 control panels?
Yes, they are. We tested compatibility in March 2019 on the JA-106KR-3G control panel.
Can these converters also be used for older types of DSC POWER control panels?
No, they can't. For older types of DSC POWER control panels, we recommend using xDW-S-PDS, which are compatible with the DSC POWER control panel.
What is the difference between the xDW-S-4C and xDW-GS-4C converters, and are they compatible with one another?
The main difference lies in the SFP module used. The converters are not compatible with one another.
