OMNITRON 8781-1 iConverter RS-422/485 Serial to Fiber Media Converter DB-9 ST Single-Mode 30km Module

The Omnitron iConverter RS422/485 is a managed serial RS-422 and RS-485 to fiber converter that transmits serial protocol over fiber media. Fiber transmission extends serial signals up to 120km, and is immune from electrical and magnetic interference.

The RS422/485 is available with a single-mode, multimode or single-fiber transceiver. The serial port interface is available with either a DB-9 female connector or terminal block connector for field wiring.

The RS422/485 automatically detects the signal baud rate of connected Full-Duplex serial device, ranging from 110 to 921,600 baud. It also automatically adjusts to changes in the connected device's Full-Duplex baud rate during operation without reconfiguration or interruption of service.

Half-Duplex RS-485 and Full-Duplex RS-485 (sometimes referred to as Multipoint RS-422) operations are supported via a configurable baud rate DIP-switch to match the master/slave communication timing.

• Supports baud rates ranging from 110 to 921,600 baud

Manageable Serial RS-422 and RS-485 to Fiber Media converter with automatic Full-Duplex baud rate detection
The Omnitron iConverter® RS422/485 is a manageable serial RS-422 and RS-485 to fiber converter that transmits serial protocol over fiber media. Fiber transmission extends serial signals up to 30km, and is immune from electrical and magnetic interference.

The RS422/485 is a single-mode transceiver.

The RS422/485 automatically detects the signal baud rate of connected Full-Duplex serial device, ranging from 110 to 921,600 baud. It also automatically adjusts to changes in the connected device’s Full-Duplex baud rate during operation without reconfiguration or interruption of service.

Half-Duplex RS-485 operation is supported via a configurable baud rate DIP-switch to match the master/slave communication timing.

Connection to DTE or DCE devices is configured by an easily accessible DIP-switch on the front-panel. This feature eliminates the need to use specific serial cable for each type of device.

A built-in remote Fiber Loop-Back DIP-switch provides easy validation of the entire fiber segment without interrupting fiber operations.

Integrated configurable terminators support RS-422 and RS-485 operations, allowing the unit to be deployed at any node in the serial line.

The RS422/485 is a member of the iConverter product family, and is designed to work in any iConverter chassis. When installed in a chassis, the RS422/485 can be remotely monitored and managed by software control. The iConverter 19-Module, 5-Module and 2-Module chassis all support the software control feature. The 1-Module chassis supports RS422/485 as a standalone serial to fiber converter.
