The FBR-Serial-2 is a multi-function RS232 / RS485 / RS422 to fiber optic converter (fiber optic modem) that supports asynchronous serial communications (RS-232, RS-485, and RS-422) through fiber optic links. Besides the capability of long distance data transmission, fiber lines are inherently resistant to EMI/RFI and transient surges; therefore, they are ideal for data communications near heavy electrical equipment and other electrical or radio interference.

Depending on the fiber cable and the type of converter used, a multi-mode fiber optic converter can extend the RS232 / RS485 / RS422 distance to up to 1.2 miles (2 km), while a single-mode fiber optic converter can extend the RS232 / RS485 / RS422 distance to up to 12.4 miles (20 km). Standards can be mixed and matched, so RS-232 devices can be connected to RS485 / RS422 devices, or RS485 (2-wire) devices can be connected to RS422 (4-wire) devices without using a converter and isolator.

The unit supports serial data rates up to 460kbps and features data format auto-sensing and self-adjusting, and, therefore, no DIP switch or jumpers are required. When working with RS485 signals, the CommFront’s auto-turnaround feature eliminates the need for flow control.
