Simplex 4100-6078 — modular Network Interface Card (NIC) that connects a Simplex 4100ES or 4100U fire alarm control panel to a Simplex 4120 fire alarm network. One card is required per network node.
The NIC mounts in Slot 3 of the Master Controller bay as a single 2-inch slot module. It does not communicate on its own: it carries up to two media cards, wired or fiber optic, which are ordered separately and chosen to suit the distance and the cable in the riser.
