CFR-FBR-Serial-2 (SM / SC)

Industrielle RS232/RS485/RS422 to Fiber Optic Media Converter (Single Mode / SC) Part number: FBR-Serial-2 (SM / SC)

Model: FBR-Serial-2

 

The FBR-Serial-2 (Rack/Wall-mount) is a rugged, industrial-grade, multi-function RS232 / RS422 / RS485 to fiber optic converter that supports asynchronous RS232 / RS422 / RS485 communications through fiber optic links. Besides the capability of long distance data transmission and the large carrying capacity, fiber lines are inherently resistant to EMI/RFI, lightning and transient surges; therefore, they are ideal for data communications surrounded by heavy electrical or radio interference.

This industrial Serial-to-Fiber-Optic converter supports multi-drop RS485/RS422 networks and can be used to communicate with up to 128 nodes of RS485/RS422 devices. It operates within a temperature range of -40ºF to 185ºF (-40ºC to 85ºC), and features 600W surge protection, 15kV ESD static protection, and data format auto-sensing and self-adjusting. No DIP switch, jumper settings or software drivers are required for this device. Depending on the fiber cable and the type of converter used, a Single-Mode fiber optic converter can extend the RS232 / RS485 / RS422 distance to up to 24 miles (40 km), while a Multi-Mode fiber optic converter can extend the RS232 / RS485 / RS422 distance to up to 1.2 miles (2 km). Standards can be mixed and matched, so RS-232 devices can be connected to RS485 / RS422 devices, or RS485 (2-wire) devices can be connected to RS422 (4-wire) devices without using a converter and isolator. The FBR-Serial-2 comes with the options of ST, SC and FC connectors for fiber optic links, and, thanks to the professional and unique casing design, the product can be mounted directly on a wall, panel, rack or DIN Rail, without a need of using any unsecured DIN-Rail or wall-mount brackets. A separate external power supply is included in the package.
