Overview

Interface Converters, Glass Fiber to Copper Interface
Model 4159 Very High Speed Ruggedized ST Fiber to RS485 / RS422 / RS232 Interface Converter, Board Configuration

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

The Model 4159 features protection circuitry on all receivers and transmitters for both RS232 and RS485/422 interfaces. 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 converter is available as a desktop package (Model 4149) with optional DIN rail mounting hardware (Model 4149-DIN).

The unit's power input is protected from transients and features 3kVDC isolation to prevent system ground loops. Model 4159 can be powered from a wide input range of 10VDC-36VDC, with modules 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 (M4159/4159CC 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
