Interface - Plastic fiber optic <> RS232 Industry

Universal POF converter for any RS232 interface

The model 81201 Interface transmits serial RS232 data via plastic duplex fibers over a distance of up to 100 meters. The external power makes this Interface suitable also for connecting to low-power RS232 ports.

RS232 ports do not always provide the necessary power for reliably achieving a transmission distance of 100 meters using the elegant solution of self-powered fiber optics interfaces. In these cases the model 81201 Interface with its own power source solves the problem.
