Specifications: 
Industrial Optically Isolated Serial RS-232 
to Fiber Converter
The converter is designed to provide the most versatile connection possible between 2 RS-232
serial equipment using fiber optic cable. It allows any two pieces of serial equipment to 
communicate full-duplex over typical duplex fibers, or over optional single fiber up to 20km. The 
converter supports transparent conversion for not only RS-232 data lines, but also all RS-232 
control signals. It also supports all RS-232 baud rates with no need for user configuration. The 
DIN-Rail mountable design makes it ideal for industrial cabinets and enclosures. Further, more 
designs such as signal protection, wide operating temperature range, wide power voltage range are 
also provided to suit for more industrial applications.
Key Features:
 Transparent conversion for all RS-232 signals
 Supports RS-232 baud rate higher than 115.2Kbps
 Auto adaptation and conversion to any RS-232 baud received
 Operation with no required configuration
 Extending all RS-232 signals over long optical cables
 Supports versatile optical cables: 
  - ST/SC multimode duplex fibers
  - SC single mode duplex fibers
  - SC single mode single fiber
 Provides surge protection (transient voltage)  on RS-232 signals
 Provides high ESD protection on RS-232 signals
 Provides optical isolation between RS-232 and main circuitry
 Designed for industrial environments with:
  - RS-232 surge, ESD, and isolation protection
  - DIN-Rail and panel mounting support
  - Wide power voltage range support
  - Terminal block and Jack-type power connectors
  - Wide operating temperature range 
  - Alarm relay output for device power failure
  - Industrial-rated emission and immunity performance
