More than 30 different FiberPlex Fiber-optic Isolators (FOls) can be used to carry electrical signals through a shield barrier
More than 30 different FiberPlex Fiber-optic Isolators (FOls) can be used to carry electrical signals through a shield barrier. They can also be used to communicate up to 2 km in a noisy environment. A fiber-optic link consists of an FOI at each end, connected by fiber-optic cable. The link can be used for interface conversion by selecting different FOls at each end. The family of isolators includes units for unidirectional (simplex) operation such as paging systems and surveillance cameras. Bi-directional (duplex) communications are provided for most standard data interface types and several telephone circuits including STU-III. Versions are available for systems such as IBM 3270 and Wang 7550. And there are units for control signals such as those required for alarms, indicators and HVAC. FiberPlex FOls can be mounted in a stand-alone configuration with an add-on power supply module. The units may be ordered in an RFI suppressed version. Alternatively, FOls can be mounted in a rear-load or front-load chassis with capacity for up to nine units and an integral power supply. Battery backup is available in most cases. Optical interface can be either SMA or ST connectors.
FiberPlex also offers a line of waveguide filters that allow the user to pass fiber cable through a shield without compromising its RFI containment performance. The patented design of these waveguides allow installation of fiber-optic cables with connectors already attached.
