The
FBR-Serial-2 is a multi-function serial to fiber optic converter that supports asynchronous serial communications (RS-232, RS-485, and RS-422) through fiber optic links. Besides the capability of long distance data transmission, fiber lines are inherently resistant to EMI/RFI and transient surges; therefore, they are ideal for data communications near heavy electrical equipment and other electrical or radio interference.
The unit supports serial data rates up to 460kbps and features data format auto-sensing and self-adjusting, and, therefore, no DIP switch or jumpers are required. When working with RS-485 signals, the CommFront’s auto-turnaround feature eliminates the need for flow control.
- Plug and play (Hot-pluggable, Data format Auto-sensing & Self-adjusting).
- Transmits serial data (RS-232, RS-485 or RS-422) over long distances through fiber cables (Multi-mode: 1.2 miles or 2 km; Single-mode: 12.4 miles or 20 km).
- Supports serial data rates up to 460kbps.
- Standards can be mixed and matched (Same data type, RS-232 to RS-485/422 or RS-485 to RS-422).
