Our RS232 to FO converters can be used to interconnect two RS-232 networks or devices over a long distance.
Our converters can be used as peer-peer modems or in a multi drop type network architecture.
The RS232 to FO converters provide reliable and transparent communication by converting RS-232 electrical signals into fiber optic signals, allowing data to be transmitted over significantly longer distances than conventional copper cables. The use of fiber optic communication eliminates problems caused by electromagnetic interference (EMI), radio frequency interference (RFI), electrical surges, and ground loops, making these converters ideal for harsh industrial environments. They require no software changes or protocol modifications, ensuring seamless integration with existing RS-232 equipment.
Designed for industrial automation and communication applications, the converters support continuous bidirectional data transmission with high reliability and low latency. Their rugged construction and industrial-grade components ensure stable performance even in demanding operating conditions. Installation is straightforward, allowing users to quickly establish long-distance serial communication without complex configuration.
These converters are suitable for connecting PLCs, RTUs, SCADA systems, industrial controllers, HMI panels, barcode scanners, laboratory instruments, security systems, CNC machines, traffic management systems, telemetry equipment, and other RS-232 enabled devices. They are widely used in manufacturing plants, power generation facilities, substations, water and wastewater treatment plants, oil & gas installations, mining operations, railway signalling, smart infrastructure, and building automation projects.
Available in both multimode and single mode fiber options, the converters provide flexible deployment based on communication distance and network requirements. Multimode models are suitable for short to medium distance applications, while single mode models enable reliable communication over distances ranging from 20 km up to 100 km depending on the selected model. With support for multiple connector options, DIN rail or wall mounting, and industrial power supply options, the converters offer a dependable solution for extending RS-232 communication networks while maintaining data integrity and ensuring uninterrupted operation.
Depending on the type of fiber (multi mode or single mode), distance and network topology we have the following models available:
