HS-NCM Installation Document — P/N 54014:C1 12/15/2020 3
2.1 Network Communications Module for Fiber
(HS-NCM-MF, HS-NCM-SF, HS-NCM-MFSF)
• Supports fiber-optic medium
• NFPA Class B or Class X operation
• Data is immune to all environmental noise
• Optical isolation prevents ground loops
• High-Speed Noti•Fire•Net fiber-optic medium
• Fiber type:
• 62.5/125 micrometers (multi-mode, 10 dB limit)
• 50/125 micrometers (multi-mode, 6.5 dB limit)
• 9/125 micrometers (single-mode, 30 dB limit)
• Wavelength (1): 1310 nanometers
• Fiber Connectors: LC style
• Data is regenerated at each node
• Two network ports to allow simultaneous connection of up to two fire alarm
control panels and a programming computer
• Enables software and database upload/download over High-Speed Noti•Fire•Net
NOTE: When referring to fiber-optic cables, the term “MF” indicates a
multi-mode fiber and the term “SF” indicates a single-mode fiber.
