KSC-200

Industrial Optically Isolated Serial RS-232 to Fiber Converter

The converter is designed to provide the most versatile connection possible between two RS-232 serial equipment using fiber optic cable. It allows any two pieces of serial equipment to communicate full-duplex over typical duplex fibers,or over optional single fiber up to 20km. The converter supports transparent conversion for not only RS-232 data lines, but also all RS-232 control signals. It also supports all RS-232 baud rates with no need for user configuration. The Din-rail mountable design makes it ideal for industrial cabinets and enclosures.

Key Features :

  • Transparent conversion for all RS-232 signals
  • Auto adaptation and conversion to any RS-232 baud received
  • Operation with no required configuration
  • Extending all RS-232 signals over long optical cables
  • Provides surge protection (transient voltage)on RS-232 signals
  • Provides high ESD protection on RS-232 signals
  • Provides optical isolation between RS-232 and main circuitry
  • Low power consumption
  • Industrial-rated emission and immunity performance
