American Fibertek Displays Fiber Optic Data Transceivers Designed for Networking Applications
Dallas, TX (September 27, 2004) - American Fibertek, Inc. is displaying the company's 485 and 487 Series Data Systems here at ASIS 2004. The fiber optic transceivers are designed to transmit and receive RS485 signals over single or multimode optical fiber providing system designers with a highly efficient transmission solution for network based security systems. The 485 Series transmits and receives one RS485 signal over a single optical fiber. For more complex systems configurations, the company's 487 Series transmits and receives two RS485 signals over a single optical fiber.
"Transmission products that can accommodate new hybrid systems products are instrumental to help sustain the industry's migration to a networked platform," said Jack Fernandes, President & CEO at American Fibertek, Inc. "Our new 485 and 487 Series Data Systems provide an important bridge for system applications that incorporate both traditional analog and new digital security devices."
American Fibertek's 485 Series transmits and receives one RS485 data signal over a single optical fiber, while the 487 Series transmits and receives two RS485 data signals over a single optical fiber. For ease of installation, the units can be configured for either two or four wire operation with the flip of a switch. As part of the product operation, the units can be biased or non-biased and terminated or not by selectable dip switches, and include diagnostic indicators for quick visual indication of system status.
Both the 485 and 487 Series Data Systems' field modules are shipped with power supplies. Rack card transceivers are designed for compatibility with American Fibertek's SR20/2 or SR-20R/1 Card Cages.
