Flex-Port™ Technology allows both single and multi-mode fiber types.

ANY FIBER

Universal by design, unmatched in function.

FLEX-PORT™ supports single and/or multi-mode fibers, supports inside or outside plant applications and supports a variety of detection methods (modern, location specific and access points).

ANY SENSOR

Sensor versatility starts at the port.

FLEX-PORT™ allows OPTI-GUARD™ to monitor lock boxes, server cabinets, cages, maintenance hole covers and more with a variety of exterior and interior sensors from the same device. OPTI-GUARD™ also supports legacy alarm systems via dry contact relays.

Flex-Port™ Technology allows multiple sensor types.
Flex-Port™ Technology allows multiple application types.

ANY APPLICATION

Monitor more. Configure less.

Flex-Port™ offers the ability to mix and match detection methods as the environment changes and needs evolve. With OPTI-GUARD™, customers can scale their physical layer one on the fly and maximize ROI – without the need for separate devices.

Flex-Port™ lets our team mix and match detection methods, monitor multiple enclosure types, and integrate legacy alarms or new sensors all from the same platform. It’s a true game changer in the PDS space, simplifying deployment while expanding what’s possible within a single infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does FLEX-PORT™ future proof my OPTI-GUARD™ appliance?

FLEX-PORT™ is a great benefit because of it’s ability to support all fiber types. A common example is an organization that uses multi-mode fiber with plans to upgrade to single-mode cabling. Legacy appliances with traditional ports would have to be replaced while OPTI-GUARD™ can easily accept the new cabling without having to upgrade the hardware. FLEX-PORT™ not only helps protects your infrastructure but your security investment.

Can FLEX-PORT™ handle multiple applications simultaneously?

Yes. Any fiber port on OPTI-GUARD™ can monitor server cabinets, cage walls, cable trays, conduits, and exterior access points — all within the same system. FLEX-PORT™ means you don’t need separate dedicated hardware for your inside and outside plant applications.

What sensors types does FLEX-PORT™ support?

FLEX-PORT™ accommodates all of our powerless Universal Cyber Sensor™ series products which include the Maintenance Hole Sensor, Outdoor Sensor, and Indoor Lockbox Sensor. Additionally, Flex-Port™ easily manages Alarmed Carrier PDS solutions to monitoring fiber conduit and pathways. Furthermore, our Cyber Sensor Array™ is supported to offer location specific detection in a number of inside plant applications such as monitoring server cages and other enclosures — making OPTI-GUARD™ one of the most versatile intrusion-detection devices on the market.
