Description

Fiber optic transmission offers the benefits of wide bandwidth, immunity to EMI/RFI interference, and secure data transmission. ADAM-4541/ ADAM-4542 can be used as an RS-232/422/485 point-to-point or point- to-mutipoint connection for transmitting and converting full/half-duplex signals and their equivalents within a fiber optic environment. Fiber optics is the perfect solution for applications where the transmission medium must be protected from electrical exposure, lightning, atmospheric conditions or chemical corrosion.

The ADAM-4541/4542 is specifically designed to link various machinery equipped with an RS-232/422/485 communication ports (such as computer systems or manufacturing machines). Using standard ST connectors, the module's fiber optic ports can accommodate a wide range of fiber optic cable sizes, including 62.5/125 (9/125)  µm.
