UNIVERSAL DATA TRANSCEIVER


The Math Fiber Optics Universal Data Transceiver is designed to transmit and receive all standard data-related signals in accordance with EIA specifications for RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 via multimode or single mode fiber optic cable. The unit is suitable for simplex, full duplex or drop-and-repeat operation and  may be easily user-configured for the protocol desired or for mixed protocol operation. The transceiver may be used in a low-speed mode for all data rates from DC up to 2.1 mbps (200 kbps for RS-232), or in a high-speed mode for all data rates from 10 kbps to 10 mbps.
Features:
  • Wide operating dta rate DC to 2.1 mbps (low speed mode) (200 kbps for RS-232) 10 kbps to 10 mbps (high-speed mode)
  • Single or mixed protocol operation
  • Adjustment-free
  • Extended ambient operating range
  • Multimode or single mode versions
  • Stand-alone or rackmountable card cage versions
  • Loss of data alarm on card cage version
  • Data-derived or RTS transmit/receive switching (RS-485)
