Clear-Com EF-701M 4 Wire Interface Call Signal Converter

Clear-Com EF-701M 4 Wire Interface Call Signal Converter

4-Wire Interface with Call Signal, Matrix-to-Partyline

The EF-701M interface converts a single channel of standard or TW partyline intercom to four-wire audio, while also converting call signals to RS-422 data (and back). The resulting four-wire audio plus RS-422 data can then be sent to a Clear-Com Matrix port, fiber-optic converter (modem) or connected to another EF-701M over twisted-pair cable such as CAT-5E.

Key Features

• High quality party-line to four-wire audio conversion
• Maintains hybrid null with multiple units on a channel
• Converts call signals to RS-422 data with selectable baud rate
• Connect intercom w/call signal over fiber-optic systems
• Clear-Com and RTS ® compatible
• Built-in test tone and jack for nulling
• Multi-mode Data status LED
• Powered by intercom line
• Connects with standard XLR’s and RJ-45 or DB-15
• Rugged, compact package can fit up to three across on standard 1-RU rack shelf CC/TW
