Coax to RS-485 Adapter
NexLine™ Coax Adapter (NexLine™) is a simple connector
that allows a building’s existing coaxial cable to be used
as part of an advanced digital access control system.
NexLine™ does this by providing a link to which digital
readers can be connected to the existing coaxial cable in
a facility, then transferring data and power over that
coax to a digital controller. This allows facilities to
easily convert analog access control systems to advanced
digital technology without the cost of rewiring.
NexLine™ is a key component for providing an
inexpensive upgrade for Schlage Electronics, Westinghouse
Security Electronics and Honeywell systems to advanced
digital technologies. NexLine™ is compatible with all
Honeywell controllers that support digital technology,
including: Honeywell 4100 Series, Alto™ 818SC Series, SE
422 Series controllers and STAR® Series. Using NexLine™
with SE 422 Series or Alto™ 818SC Series controllers
allows users to replace SE 2800 Series analog readers with
Honeywell’s award-winning DigiReader™ digital proximity
readers. Such an upgrade would allow sites to take
advantage of additional features like longer read ranges,
faster read times and multiple-technology access card
