About

ComNet is a manufacturer of audio, video, data and Ethernet communication products. Located in Danbury, Connecticut, USA and Leeds in the United Kingdom, ComNet focuses on providing innovative communications networking solutions to the Security Market, Intelligent Transportation System Markets and Power Transportation and Distribution Market. The product line consists of fiber optic video, data and audio transmission products as well as a broad Fiber Optic, Wireless and Copper media Ethernet product line and designed from the start to set the standard for transmission products in the markets ComNet competes in.

ComNet emerged onto the market in 2008 led by former employees of International Fiber Systems. The ComNet team developed a completely new and updated line of fiber optic and hardened Ethernet products. ComNet officially announced our intention to market in June 2008. ComNet returns to the business ethics, customer support, engineering and quality that were characteristic of IFS prior to being sold to GE in 2003.

ComNet is currently comprised of many of the most talented former IFS and Fiber Options employees. That talent allows ComNet to perform at a higher level. Every engineer at ComNet has over 10 years experience designing complex fiber optic and electronic circuits. Our technical support and sales personnel have over 10 years experience working with complex networks, using all transmission technology.

The full ComNet product line is the result of that talent and experience and is far advanced from what is currently available. That’s why ComNet can back all our products with a lifetime warranty.

In December 2016, ComNet was acquired by ACRE, LLC, a Las Vegas, NV-based holding company that owns Vanderbilt Industries

Innovation by Design

100% Tested

100% Tested – Every ComNet video, audio, data and Ethernet product must pass a strict series of tests before it leaves our Connecticut, USA facility. ComNet products are designed, built and tested in the USA. All backed by a Lifetime Warranty. What other transmission product manufacturer can deliver that

ComFit

ComFit – Card-Cage or Stand-Alone Interchangeability – ComNet fiber optic products are designed for use in either our card cage or stand-alone use right out of the box. This solution eliminates ordering the wrong mounting configuration, and reduces installation problems. Saves time, money and installation delays.

Single Fiber Design

Single Fiber Design – Many ComNet products require the use of only one optical fiber, whereas most competitive products use a two-fiber design. The use of a single fiber simplifies your overall system design, significantly reduces the cost of installation and enhances overall system reliability.

As an environmentally-conscious company, ComNet takes great pride in doing all we can to preserve and protect the environment we live in. ComNet products provide the lowest power consumption and by doing so, cost less to operate.
ComNet products are fully compliant with the WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) European Community Directive 2002/96/EC, and RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC.

Production Facility

Designed and Manufactured in the USA – ComNet products are designed and manufactured in our 25,000 square foot facility in Danbury, Connecticut. USA

Independently Tested – ComNet products are certified by an independent test laboratory to exceed the environmental requirements of NEMA TS-1/TS-2 and the CALTRANS Specification for Traffic Signal Control Equipment. These requirements include ambient operating temperature, mechanical shock, vibration, humidity with condensation, high-line/low-line voltage conditions and transient voltage protection.

Regional Power Supplies

Worldwide Operability – The ComNet Card Cage Rack System is equipped with a self-contained power supply that provides operation with any input voltage from 90 to 264 VAC, 50/60 Hz. Any possibility of ordering an incorrect power supply with the wrong operating voltage is completely eliminated.

Boards Treated with Conformal Coating

Environmentally Hardened – ComNet products set the standard for reliability when installed in the most difficult operating environments. All ComNet equipment is designed to operate over the ambient temperature range of -40°C to +75°C.

Broad-Range Compatibility – ComNet video with serial data and data transmission products are transparent to data encoding allowing for transmission of all formats and protocols, so they’re designed for broad-range compatibility with major system manufacturers.

Lifetime Warranty – We’re so confident in the long-term reliability of our industrially hardened products that we back them with a Lifetime Warranty.

As an environmentally-conscious company, ComNet takes great pride in doing all we can to preserve and protect the environment we live in.

There are several compelling forces driving the private and public sector to adopt a strategy for making their communications networks as environmentally responsible whenever possible. The recognition that there is a finite amount of energy available for operating power, and a finite budget for operations, has made most organizations very much aware that considering the impact to the environment is a viable and practical way to optimize their networks by consuming less energy, reducing life-cycle costs and the overall cost of ownership, and implementing conservation measures to best serve the public good.
