The TD-1280 (to DTE) and TD-1281 (to DCE) RS232 to fiber converter products offer a flexible and cost effective method for RS-232 serial data transport. The DB-25 connectors are pinned out to directly support a TIA-232 serial link. Due to the transparency and flexibility of the design, the TD-1280/81 can be used as 3x2 independent 1 Mbps TIA-232 channels and 5x5 independent 120 kbps TIA-232 channels. By using a technology unique to FiberPlex we are able to use all the clock, data and control channels completely independently of one another. The RS232 to fiber converter devices support (2) bi-directional 1 Mbps TIA-232 serial with (1) unidirectional 1 Mbps TIA-232 and (5) bi-directional 120 Kbps TIA-232 -- or even independently as (3) 1 Mbps TIA-232 in one direction and (2) in the other [3x2] and (5) 120 Kbps TIA-232 in one direction and (5) in the other [5x5].
This incredible versatility can solve a myriad of serial data communications problems. Your once limited serial links can not only be consolidated but extended to over 20 Km on a single fiber pair using Patton's advance RS232 to fiber converter technology. SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition), Telecommunications, Facility Automation and Control can all benefit from the TD-1280/81.
For more advanced systems, a "Regeneration Switch" on the TD-1281 allows users to toggle between synchronous applications that require Send Timing (ST) and asynchronous or synchronous applications that require Terminal Timing (TT).
Applications
Applications include SCADA, Oil and Gas, Home & Facility Automation, Telecommunications and Industrial Controls. Due to the flexible nature of SFP modules, the SFP version of this unit can accommodate a variety of singlemode, multimode, BiDi or CWDM optical modules providing maximum flexibility.
