Our RS-485 to Fiber optic converters can be used to interconnect two RS-485 networks or devices over a 485g distance.
Our converters can be used as peer-peer modems or in a multi drop type network architecture.
Depending on the type of fiber (multi mode or single mode), distance and network topology we have the following models available
| Model # | Fiber type | No. fibers | Max distance between FO nodes | Connection topology |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FM-485-FO-P2M | Multi mode | 2 (tx and rx) | 2 kms. | Peer to peer |
| FM-485-FO-P2S | Single mode | 2 (tx and rx) | 20 kms. | Peer to peer |
| FM-485-FO-M4M | Multi mode | 4 (tx rx from previous node and tx rx going to following node) | 2 kms. | Multi drop bus |
| FM-485-FO-M4S | Single mode | 4 (tx rx from previous node and tx rx going to following node) | 20 kms. | Multi drop bus |
