FO CONVERTER
Fiber Optic Converter


The MEINBERG fiber optic modules convert an electrical input signal (TTL or RS-422) into one or more FO (fiber optical) output signals or an FO input signal in one or more electrical output signals. The FO modules are suitable to spread signals like IRIG (AM / DCLS), PPS or RS232 over wide distances.

Description
Fiber Optic Converter


The following fiber optic converters have been designed for the distribution of electrical signals over distances of up to 2000mtrs. The optical ST connectors are linked via an optical GI50/125µm or GI62.5/125µm multimode fiber (wave lenght: 850nm). The launchable optical output power is typ. 15µW per output, the minimum optical input level is 3µW. The elecrical inputs and outputs are provided via female BNC connectors or 9pin. SubD connectors. If necessary, the output signals of the digital modules can be inverted against the respective input signal by a jumper inside the aluminium profile housing (71mm x 84mm x 24mm / width x depth x height).

The required supply voltage of 8 - 15V DC is provided by a plug-in power supply (100 - 240VAC) which is included in the scope of supply. Alternatively, the modules are available for supply voltages of 18 - 72V DC, in this case a plug-in power supply is not included. Furthermore, the modules are available with a fixing clamp for 35mm DIN mounting rails.
