description

Extend Communications Up to 9 Miles!

Any two pieces of asynchronous serial equipment can communicate at half or full duplex over two fibers at rates up to 460 kbps for RS-422/485 or 115.2 kbps for RS-232 with a pair of these converters. Fiber lines are inherently resistant to EMI/RFI and transient surges, so they are ideal for data communications near heavy electrical equipment and other electrical or radio interference.

Standards can be mixed and matched so RS-232 devices can be connected to RS-422/485 devices, replacing a converter and isolator. When working with RS-485 signals, B&B Electronics’ Automatic Send Data control eliminates the need for driver software. Serial connections are on terminal blocks; multimode fiber side has two ST connectors. Requires external power supply not included.

Premium model - FOSTCDRi - features include 10-48 VDC operation, triple isolation, 2000V input/output power supply, UL Class 1 Div 2 approval, CSA approval, CE approved.

Standard model - FOSTCDR - features include 10-30 VDC operation, 2-way isolation, 2000V input/output, CE approved
