FO CONVERTER: Fiber Optic Converter 

FO CONVERTER: Fiber Optic Converter 

The MEINBERG fiber optic modules convert an electrical input signal (TTL or RS-422) into one or more FO (fiber optical) output signals or an FO input signal in one or more electrical output signals. The FO modules are suitable to spread signals like IRIG (AM / DCLS), PPS or RS232 over wide distances.

Description

Product Description

Multimode Converter

The following fiber optic converters have been designed for the distribution of electrical signals over distances of up to 2,000mtrs. The optical ST connectors are linked via an optical GI50/125µm or GI62.5/125µm multimode fiber (wave lenght: 850nm). The launchable optical output power is typ. 20µW per output, the minimum optical input level is 3µW. The elecrical inputs and outputs are provided via female BNC connectors or 9pin. SubD connectors. If necessary, the output signals of the digital modules can be inverted against the respective input signal by a jumper inside the aluminium profile housing (71mm x 84mm x 24mm / width x depth x height).

The required supply voltage can be provided with an optional available AC-DC adapter (100 – 240 V ACIN; 24 V DCOUT). All converter variants are equipped with a fixing clamp for 35mm DIN mounting rails.

Singlemode Converter

Multimode converters are unsuitable to bridge distances over 2,000m. The following singlemode converters were developed to distribute electrical signals over distances of up to 10 kilometers. The optical ST plug connectors are wired via an E9/125µm mono-mode fiber (wave-length: 1310nm). The optical output power is typ. -15dBm per output and the optical input has a susceptibility of -30dBm. The electrical in- and outputs are led out via a BNC socket or a D-Sub 9 connector.

Even with these modules, the output signal can be inverted against the input signal, if necessary.

LWL Converter CON/TTL/FOS CON/TTL/FOS
The fiber optic converter module CON/TTL/FOS for singlemode fibers converts an input signal (TTL, RS422 or FO) into one or more fiber optical output signals.The following options are possible:
CON/TTL/FOS-x:
TTL input (BNC) to one or -x (2 – 4) FOS outputs
CON/422/FOS-x:
RS422 input (DSub9) to one or -x (2 – 4) FOS outputs
CON/FOS/FOS-x:
FOS input (ST) to one or -x (2 – 4) FOS outputs
CON/FO/FOS-x:
FO (multimode) input (ST) to one or -x (2 – 4) FOS outputs

LWL Converter CON/FOS/TTL CON/FOS/TTL
The fiber optic converter module CON/FOS/TTL for singlemode fibers converts an optical input signal into one or more electrical output signals (TTL or RS422).The following options are possible:
CON/FOS/TTL: two TTL outputs via BNC female connectors
CON/FOS/422: one RS422 output via DSub9 female connectorThe maximum distance between transmitter and receiver comes up to 10 kilometers with our singlemode converters.
