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 

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 

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 

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 

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 

validation of the entire fiber segment without interrupting fiber 

operations.
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  

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 

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.
