Description:

The OPT-700 is a Fiber Optic Modem designed to provide a versatile connection between asynchronous serial communication interfaces such as RS-232c and RS-485 with a Fiber Optic cable.

It will allow any equipment that uses half-duplex asynchronous serial communication go to typical distances of up to 4.0 km.

Great benefits includes the elimination of ground loops and EMI immunity.

It can be configured point-to-point or in a multi-drop configuration using the Repeat feature.

The OPT-700 supports a broad range of configurable baudrates for the asynchronous serial communication. RS-232C can work between 2400 to 115.2Kbps while RS-485 works from 2.4K till 920Kbps.

Once Fiber Optic is immune to EMI/RFI and ground loops, the Modem can replace converters and isolators when connecting to remote devices.

All setup is easily accomplished by turning a couple of DIP switches!

• Works directly in the LC-700/DFI back-plane draining power from the Inter-Module-Bus (IMB) or stand alone using an external Power Supply.
• Can be used in stand-alone mode with an external power supply.
• Accepts RS-232C or RS-485 with configurable baudrates.
• Point-to-Point or Multi-drop Fiber Optic communication.
• Great solution to increase link distances and eliminate EMI or Grounding problems.
