Transmit RS-232/422/485 Serial Data Over Fiber with Maximum Reliability
The RLH Serial Data Fiber Optic Converter transmits RS-232/422/485 serial data over fiber optic cable. It transmits simultaneously to each serial port, providing the option to interface between one of three different serial data communication standards.
Designed for operation in harsh environments, this fiber converter allows for long distance communication while providing immunity to EM/RFI and transient surges along the fiber path. This rugged, industrial grade converter is ideal for applications where reliability is critical, and is suitable for use in non-temperature controlled environments.
A comprehensive set of LEDs on the front panel indicate power status, fiber status, and RS-232/422/485 activity. Features include redundant power inputs with a system alarm contact for remote monitoring, and it includes both a DIN rail clip and wall mount ears for ease of installation. This system is made in the U.S.A. and covered by our Lifetime Warranty.
