RS422/485
Managed Serial RS-422 and RS-485 to Fiber Media Converter
The Omnitron iConverter RS422/485 is a managed serial
RS-422 and RS-485 to fiber converter that transmits serial
protocol over fiber media. Fiber transmission extends serial
signals up to 120km, and is immune from electrical and
magnetic interference.
The RS422/485 is available with a single-mode, multimode or
The RS422/485 is available with a single-mode, multimode or
single-fiber transceiver. The serial port interface is available
with either a DB-9 female connector or terminal block connector
for field wiring.
The RS422/485 automatically detects the signal baud rate
The RS422/485 automatically detects the signal baud rate
of connected Full-Duplex serial device, ranging from 110 to
921,600 baud. It also automatically adjusts to changes in the
connected device’s Full-Duplex baud rate during operation
without reconfiguration or interruption of service.
Half-Duplex RS-485 and Full-Duplex RS-485 (sometimes
Half-Duplex RS-485 and Full-Duplex RS-485 (sometimes
referred to as Multipoint RS-422) operations are supported
via a configurable baud rate DIP-switch to match the master/
slave communication timing.
Connection to DTE or DCE devices is configured by an
Connection to DTE or DCE devices is configured by an
easily accessible DIP-switch on the front-panel. This feature
eliminates the need to use a specific serial cable for each
type of device.
A built-in remote Fiber Loopback DIP-switch provides easy
A built-in remote Fiber Loopback DIP-switch provides easy
validation of the entire fiber segment without interrupting fiber
operations.
Integrated configurable terminators support RS-422 and
Integrated configurable terminators support RS-422 and
RS-485 operations, allowing the unit to be deployed at any
node in the serial line.
iConverter RS422/485 modules are hot-swappable and can
iConverter RS422/485 modules are hot-swappable and can
be mounted in a 19-Module (2U high) or 5-Module (1U
high) rack-mountable chassis (19-inch or 23-inch) with any
combination of redundant AC, 24VDC or 48VDC power
supplies. They can also be mounted in a 2-Module AC or 18
to 60VDC powered chassis, or in a 1-Module AC/DC powered
chassis.
The iConverter family of managed fiber access media
The iConverter family of managed fiber access media
converters are used in Service Provider access networks and
Enterprise LANs. iConverter media converters provide fiber
connectivity with copper to fiber, multimode fiber to single-mode
fiber, or dual fiber to single-fiber conversions.
