International IT Mgrs: ESL's HP Fiber to RS232 Converters Now Include 2-Pin Euro Power Supplies
Allow Connection of HP Fiber Optic Linked Terminals to RS232 Port of Controller
Models 4137EU & 4139EU Application
The HP Fiber/RS232 Converters are used to connect fiber optic linked terminals to a controller having an RS232 interface port. While RS232 is a versatile communication standard, conversion to a fiber optic communication standard also allows data transmission that is no longer susceptible to electrostatic or electromagnetic fields. Additionally, the ports of the connected terminals are protected from damage by potential differences (ground variations) that often exist between them.
