Serial Fiber Optics

In-line Converters

Faster, reliable and longer distances with fiber communications

B&B Electronics fiber optic converters provide an economical and reliable method to use fiber in your data communications system.

They support RS-232/422/485 on any asynchronous serial device. These models require an external power source.

Optional power supplies are available. Model FOSTDRP is a fiber-to-fiber duplex repeater. It squares off and amplifies the fiber signal, doubling its range and overcoming fiber loss and connector loss
