Data sheet:
Interface - Plastic fiber optic <> RS232 Industry
Universal POF converter for any RS232 interface
The model 81201 Interface transmits serial RS232 data via plastic duplex fibers over a distance of up to 100 meters. The external power makes this Interface suitable also for connecting to low-power RS232 ports.
Properties
Interfaces:
- RS232 Interface
- 9-pin SUB-D connector with PC pin configuration
- 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:
- 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:
- External
- 12V-24V AC/DC via plug-in screw terminal
- Galvanically isolated power connection
- External supply also makes it suitable for low-power RS232 interfaces
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
RS232 ports do not always provide the necessary power for reliably achieving a transmission distance of 100 meters using the elegant solution of self-powered fiber optics interfaces. In these cases the model 81201 Interface with its own power source solves the problem.
