Fiber Media Converter - Serial to Fiber
Cleerline Media Converters bridge the gap between dissimilar media types, allowing signals to travel further without the risk of electromagnetic interference, radio frequency interference, static electricity or surges.
The Cleerline Serial to Fiber Media Converter converts RS-232, RS-485 and RS-422 serial control signals to fiber, providing signal extension up to 1km (0.62 miles) over a simplex multimode fiber and 20km (12.4 miles) over a simplex single-mode fiber. A built-in SC fiber port and 7-pin serial port make connections quick and simple.
Sold as a matched send (TX) and receive (RX) set, the Serial to Fiber Media Converter supports both point-to-point and point-to-multipoint transmission with data rates up to 256 Kbps. Plus, its IP40-rated industrial construction with built-in 1500W surge protection and 15kV electrostatic protection make the converter set ideal for harsh environments.
Please note: two external 15W/48V/0.32A power supplies are required and are sold separately. Cleerline recommends part SSF-DIN-48V15W-PS.
