RS232 / RS485 / RS422 to Multi-Drop Fiber Optic Converter (Industrial / MultiMode / SC)

The FBR(M)-Serial-2 (MM / SC) is an advanced, multi-mode (MM), rugged, industrial-grade RS232 / RS422 / RS485 to fiber optic converter that supports asynchronous RS232 / RS422 / RS485 communications through multi-drop fiber optic links. The FBR(M)-Serial-2 supports up to 255 fiber nodes, and each fiber node can extend the RS232 / RS422 / RS485's distance to 3 miles (5km) for multi-mode converters and cables. Depending on the site situation, the FBR(M)-Serial-2 can be configured as a daisy-chain or a self-healing / redundant ring fiber network. When configured as a ring fiber network, the built-in self-healing feature allows the data to be transmitted clockwise or counterclockwise; therefore, failure of any individual converter will not affect other devices located on the same fiber ring, making the entire data network more robust and reliable. The unit also features redundant power supplies and power alarm outputs for uninterrupted system performance and easy maintenance. The FBR(M)-Se
