Overview
Network Media Converters
Fiber 232® Model 4107 F07 (POF) Fiber/RS232 Converter
-
Provides Electrical-to-Optical, Optical-to-Electrical Conversion.
-
Plastic Optical Fiber interface provides immunity to electromagnetic interferences and pulses common to industrial applications.
-
Totally eliminates ground loops and noise problems associated with high-voltage applications.
-
Ideal for providing isolation to sensitive test equipment/computers and used in conjunction with electrostatic test simulation devices.
F07 (POF) FIBER to RS232 DB9 CONVERSION APPLICATION:
The Model 4107 is connected from the DB9 RS232 to a computer or Sensitive Monitor Equipment (Protected Devices) and from the F07 (POF) connector to an Electrostatic Test Simulation Device (Electrical Interference Source) which provides galvanic isolation via copper-to-fiber media conversion.
Model 4107 Application:
The Model 4107 F07 (POF) Fiber/RS232 Converter is used to provide copper/fiber media conversion between an RS232 interface device and a plastic optical fiber (POF) interface device. While the RS232 is versatile communication standard, conversion to a fiber optic communication standard allows data transmission that is no longer susceptible to electrostatic or electromagnetic fields. Additionally, the ports of the connected devices are protected from damage by potential differences (ground variations) that often exist between them.
