The Clear-Com FSII-SPL is a professional antenna distribution splitter designed to expand the coverage and connectivity of Clear-Com FreeSpeak wireless intercom systems. By allowing multiple transceiver antennas to share a single antenna connection, the FSII-SPL makes it easier to build larger wireless intercom systems for theaters, broadcast facilities, live events, sports venues, and other demanding production environments.
A single FSII-SPL can connect up to five FreeSpeak transceiver antennas, providing a practical way to distribute wireless coverage throughout larger facilities. Multiple splitters can also be linked together, allowing system designers to extend antenna coverage across larger venues without requiring a dedicated connection from every antenna back to the central system.
Fiber Connectivity for Long-Distance Antenna Distribution
For installations where antennas need to be located a significant distance from the central intercom equipment, the FSII-SPL provides an SFP fiber interface that supports both single-mode and multi-mode fiber connections.
This allows the splitter to be incorporated into larger networked intercom installations and provides flexible connection options between compatible Clear-Com infrastructure, including FSII-BASE-II, Eclipse HX, and supported Arcadia Central Station systems.
The combination of EtherCON connections and fiber connectivity makes the FSII-SPL well suited to permanent installations as well as large temporary production systems.
Designed for Reliable Professional Use
The FSII-SPL is built for environments where wireless communication equipment needs to remain dependable throughout long productions. Front and rear LED indicators provide at-a-glance status information, making it easier for technicians to monitor connections when the equipment is installed in racks, equipment rooms, or other locations.
The splitter also offers flexible installation options, including wall mounting and microphone-stand mounting, allowing antennas and splitters to be positioned where they are needed without requiring a traditional equipment rack.

Why Use the Clear-Com FSII-SPL?
When a FreeSpeak wireless intercom installation needs more antenna locations or greater coverage, the FSII-SPL provides a straightforward way to distribute the transceiver signal without running an individual antenna connection back to the central equipment for every antenna.
Its combination of five EtherCON antenna connections, SFP fiber connectivity, flexible mounting, and system monitoring LEDs makes the FSII-SPL a useful building block for expanding professional Clear-Com wireless intercom systems.
