Overview

Interface Converters, Glass Fiber to Copper Interface
Model 4149 Very High Speed Ruggedized ST Fiber to RS485 / RS422 / RS232 Interface Converter, Desktop Configuration

  • Four popular configurations, Fiber-to-Copper Media Converters.

The Model 4149 media converter is a very high speed ruggedized protocol independent ST Fiber to RS485/422/232 interface converter from Electro Standards Laboratories.
Typical operating speeds are as follows:

  • Up to 1.5 Mbps for RS232 to fiber conversion,
  • Up to 5 Mbps for RS485/422 to fiber conversion.

The Model 4149 Glass Fiber to Copper Interface Converter is designed to operate from -40°C to 85°C. Model 4149 is a member of Electro Standards Laboratories' (ESL) rugged community of glass fiber-to-copper media converter family.
The Model 4149 features protection circuitry on all receivers and transmitters for both RS232 and RS485/422 interfaces. The converter is available as a desktop package (Model 4149) with optional DIN rail mounting hardware (Model 4149-DIN).

It is also available as a board only (Model 4159/4159CC) with front mounted threaded brackets for rack mounting in embedded applications. Model 4159CC is a Conformal Coated Printed Circuit Board (PCB) for military and harsh environments.
The unit's power input is protected from transients and features 3kVDC isolation to prevent system ground loops. Model 4149 can be powered from a wide input range of 10VDC-36VDC. Custom models are also available for other voltage ranges such as 4.5VDC-9VDC and 19VDC-72VDC.

Other features include user selectable fiber polarity, TX, RX and Power indicator LEDs. There are also dual DB9 power connectors (Model 4159/4159CC only) for convenience in bused power applications.
Three functions in one unit:

  • ST Fiber to RS485 Converter
  • ST Fiber to RS422 Converter
  • ST Fiber to RS232 Converter
