The IFC-FDC Series are industrial grade fiber media converters that provide dual fiber connections to extend asynchronous RS-232, RS-485 or RS-422 serial transmissions over a distance of up to 2km using multimode fiber or up to 60km using single mode fiber.
The dual fiber inputs allow connecting multiple devices in a cascade or “daisy chain” fashion as well as creating ring architecture for fiber redundancy. The converter is capable of selecting interface modes for connection to RS-232 (3 wire), RS-485 (2 wire, half duplex) or RS-422/485 (4 wire, full duplex). IFC-FDC Series media converters feature a three-way communications plus a second independent RS-232 communication channel.
Models also feature an alarm relay contact and two redundant DC power inputs. The IFC-FDC Series reliable industrial design is perfect for keeping your industrial automation applications running smoothly and continuously. The IFC-FCD Series media converters are available in two operating temperature ranges, a standard -10° to 60°C commercial temperature range or an extended -40° to 75°C range (IFC-FDC-E).
