The fiber optical
converter allows the RS232 or RS422 input signals to be converted to
fiber optional signals that for long distance, high speed, and high
quality communication. There are 3 LED indicators correspond to RxD,
CTS, and power signals. A 9V, 500mA-power adapter is provided in the
package. To order the fiber optical converter, please select one of
RS232 or RS422 version, and select one of DTE or DCE version for
signal connection.
|
|
The
features of fiber optical converter are :
|
 |
Provides RS232 or RS422 signals. |
| |
Provides DTE or DCE mode signals.
|
| |
One pair (two converters) is needed for two connected
devices.
|
| |
Communication distance up to 1500m.
|
| |
Fiber Optical Communication speed up to 5 Mbps.
|
| |
Operation temperature from 0C to 55C.
|
| |
ST type fiber optical connector. |
| |
Suitable for three different optical fibers size :
50/125um, 62.5/125um, 100/140um.
|
| |
Suitable for multi-mode cable.
|
| |
HFBR-2416 fiber optical receiver and HFBR-1414 fiber
optical transmitter are used.
|
|
|
The
package contains:
|
|
Two (or one) fiber optical converters.
|
| |
9V, 500mA power adapter.
|
| |

|
Hardware Installation:
|
Your fiber
optical converter is designed to be inserted in the RS232/RS422 port of
your computer, please follow the setps listed below.
|
- Turn off all power to your computer and all
devices before installing your fiber optecal converter.
- Connect fiber optical converter to
RS232/RS422 port.
- Plugs in power adapter to fiber optical
converter and connects it to remote site.
- Turn on the computer and power adapter.
|
Hardware
configuration:
|
There are one female
connector and four fiber optical connectors in the box, the signal
assignments are shown below:

To use the fiber
optical converter, you mustt connect it with four fiber optical cables,
then connect both DB-25 connectors to PC or devices (we call Device
in the follow). Please note that, you must use DCE or DTE mode
correctly, otherwise it can not work. Suppose the Device is DTE mode,
you must set the converter to DCE, otherwise if the Device is DCE
mode, you must set the converter to DTE.
|
|
In
the following, we will introduce how to set the hardware configuration
in different modes, and also show the signal flow of both fiber
optical converters. It is clearly that only connect transmit signal
to receive signal and connect request to send signal to clear to send
signal at one side.
