Class N: Networks for Fire Alarm and Mass Notification Systems: An Expert Resource Guide

After years of study, debate, and development, the National Fire Protection Association has established parameters for Ethernet connections. In the process, they've brought fire-alarm technology into a brave new world.

Now you can make the most of today's fire and security technology.

When you follow the new Ethernet connection guidelines, you can:

• Safely use standard networks to connect fire alarm devices to control units.
• Use technology more commonly familiar to a broad range of designers, installers, and end users.
• Integrate data collection
• Obtain a special fire protection UL Listing for equipment already on the market.

This expert resource guide was written by Dan Horon, a member of the Technical Correlating Committee Task Group on Networks and co-author of the new networking section in the NFPA 72 handbook.
