RS-232 to Single-Mode ST Fiber Optic Converter – Long-Distance, Interference-Free Transmission

Enhance the performance and reliability of your serial communication systems with our RS-232 to single-mode ST fiber optic converter. Engineered for industrial and commercial applications, this compact converter allows RS-232 signals to travel up to 40 km over fiber optics, eliminating signal loss and EMI/RFI interference. Whether you need reliable connectivity for remote sites or harsh environments, this fiber converter ensures stable, long-distance data transmission.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Flexible Power Options – Operates using external power or power over serial port, offering convenience for diverse installations.
  • Long-Range Transmission – Extend RS-232 communication up to 40 km with single-mode fiber (TCF-90-S) or 5 km with multi-mode fiber (TCF-90-M), ideal for long-distance applications.
  • Minimizes Signal Interference – Fiber optic transmission significantly reduces signal degradation caused by electromagnetic or radio frequency interference.
  • Durable & Industrial-Grade Protection – Built to withstand electrical interference and chemical corrosion, ensuring reliability in harsh industrial settings.
  • Compact and Easy to Integrate – Small size allows easy mounting and integration into existing systems without taking up valuable space.

Perfect for factories, utilities, and remote data acquisition, this RS-232 fiber optic converter delivers dependable serial-to-fiber conversion with extended reach and immunity to interference. Upgrade your communication infrastructure with a solution designed for performance and durability.
