Serial to Fiber Optic Converters extend signal reach.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News�) — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 10:13:12 -0400

Helping maintain existing automation components while upgrading infrastructure, serial to fiber-optic Ethernet converters enable integration of serial port devices into industrial Ethernet networks for transmission over distances up to 5 km without any external signal boosters. Devices offer conversions from RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485; come in SC and ST fiber connection options; and also protect against EMI. Automatic baud rate recognition facilitates installation and setup.
