The FOSTCDR is our Industrial Serial to
Multimode Fiber Optic Converter. Designed for
industry, it extends serial data range up to 2.5 miles
and provides the most versatile connection possible
between any asynchronous full or half-duplex serial
equipment. In addition to direct point-to-point
connectivity, it is capable operating in a multi-drop
mode. This allows one serial device to communicate
with up to 31 others around a fiber optic ring. Since
it supports mixed serial standards, you can replace
other converters and isolators and add the EMI/RFI
immunity inherent to fiber optic communications.
In RS-232 mode, the FOSTCDR supports
transmit and receive data. Handshaking signals are
not passed through.
An Automatic Send Data Control circuit controls
the RS-422/485 driver chip, eliminating the
requirement for special software.
Easy to install and configure, it has an 8 position
DIP Switch to set up the RS-422/485 parameters
and terminal blocks to connect serial signals and
power.
