RS-232 to Multi-Mode ST Fiber Optic Converter – High Performance, Long-Distance Serial Data Transmission

Ensure reliable and interference-free data communication with our compact RS-232 to multi-mode ST fiber optic converter. Ideal for industrial and commercial applications, this fiber optic solution extends RS-232 signals over long distances while protecting your equipment from electrical noise and harsh environments.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Dual Power Options: Operates with either external power or through serial port power, offering flexible installation in various settings.
  • Long-Distance Transmission: Supports RS-232 signal extension up to 5 km using multi-mode fiber (with TCF-90-M), or up to 40 km using single-mode fiber (with TCF-90-S).
  • Improved Signal Integrity: Reduces signal interference for stable and accurate data communication.
  • Enhanced Protection: Shields your system from electrical interference and chemical corrosion for long-term reliability.
  • Space-Saving Design: Durable and compact size makes it ideal for environments with limited space.

This serial to fiber optic converter is the perfect choice for engineers and technicians who need dependable RS-232 data transmission over fiber in demanding environments. Whether you’re upgrading a legacy system or building a new network, this converter ensures efficiency, security, and scalability.
