“The Cleerline IP-40 rated Serial-to-Fiber converter is a go-to solution for us here at ResCom Electric and Integration because it’s durable, non-conductive, and allows us to install fiber that delivers massive bandwidth for the gates and remote lighting projects we design and install for our clients,” explains Rich Conklin, principal engineer at Michigan-based ResCom Electric. “We do commercial projects with numerous remote buildings as well as residential developments and luxury homes where communication to the gate could be a mile away —and Cleerline’s Serial-to-Fiber converter frees us from having to deploy costly additional processors — their fiber infrastructure and rugged IP-rated devices are an effective and reliable solution for us.”
