{"product_id":"b-b-smartworx-industrial-serial-to-fiber-optic-converters","title":"B+B SmartWorx Industrial Serial to Fiber Optic Converters","description":"Model BB-FOSTCDRI is a premium industrial serial to multi-mode fiber optic converter. 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.
