Data sheet:

Interface - plastic fiber optic <> RS232 with DB9 socket Low Power

  • Plastic fiber optic cable 81029

Low Power version for distances < 20 meters

Interface model 81029 transmits serial RS232 data iva plastic duplex fiber optics cable over a distance of up to 20 meters. The converter is powered from the serial port and needs no additional power supply.

Properties

Interfaces:

  • RS232 Interface
    • 9-pin SUB-D socket
  • Fiber optics interface
    • Direct connection of the fiber optic cable without a connector
    • Alternate names: POF (polymer optical fiber, plastic optical fiber)

Management and connectivity:

  • Version with reduced power consumption
  • Transmission length 0 to 20 meters. Greater distances are possible using the 81009 model.
  • The interface is very easy to install:
    • Cut the fiber-optic cable with a sharp knife at right angles.
    • Insert into patented adapter of the W&T interface.
    • Plug the adapter into the PC.
    • That’s it!
  • No re-configuration of transmission parameters required
  • 100% protection against interfering radiation
  • Electrical isolation
  • Lightning protection

Power supply:

  • No additional power source required

Standards & more

  • Conforms to standards both in office and industrial environments:
    • High noise resistance per EN 61000-6-2
    • Low noise emission per EN 55032:2015 + A1 Cl. B, EN 61000-3-2 & EN 61000-3-3
  • 5 year guarantee

Worth knowing

The model 81029 Interface offers in addition to the other fiber optic compact interfaces a 9-pin special version whose transmission range is limited to 0 to 20m, but which only loads the connected RS232 interface with a current of about 2mA. With this version it is also possible to operate on less powerful RS232 interfaces without connecting an additional power source.
