Advantech Automation BBFOSTCDR Serial Fiber Converter

The fiber optic converter extends serial data communication up to 4 km with optical isolation, supporting RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 standards. It features wide voltage input, EMI/RFI protection, LED indicators, and operation in industrial environments. Models FOSTCDR and FOSTCDR-INV differ in fiber idle state behavior; the former keeps the light on, while the latter turns it off when idle. Easy to install with DIP switches for configuration and terminal block connections, suitable for industrial automation and networking applications.
