Its rugged design is UL Approved and certified for Class 1\/Division 2 industrial environments. It extends data communications up to 4 km (2.5 mi). It provides three-way optical isolation on the input, output and power lines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to direct point-to-point connectivity, it is capable of operating in a multi-drop mode. This allows one serial device to communicate with up to 31 other devices around a fiber ring. Since it supports mixed standards, you can replace other converters and isolators and add the EMI \/ RFI protection inherent to fiber optic communications.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn RS-232 mode, the converter supports Transmit and Receive data. Handshaking signals are not passed through. An Automatic Send Data Control circuit controls the RS-422\/485 driver chip, eliminating the requirement for external software.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEasy to install and configure, it has a 12-position DIP switch on the bottom to configure RS-422\/485 parameters. Serial data and power cables connect to removable terminal blocks. ST connectors are used for the fiber.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 10-30 VDC external power source is required (power supply not included, sold separately).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eModel BB-FOSTCDRI-INV features an \"inverted fiber state\" and is suitable for applications requiring the fiber optic transmit light to be Off in the idle state.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"B+B SmartWorx","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67646064623932,"sku":"1071205438","price":481.07,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0864\/2242\/1820\/files\/1071205438.jpg?v=1791513501","url":"https:\/\/www.microcad.ca\/products\/b-b-smartworx-industrial-serial-to-fiber-optic-converters-2-x-st-ports-multi-mode-820-nm-fiber-2-49-mile-power-supply-din-rail-mountable","provider":"Microcad.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
