FRM220-Serial RS-485 / 232 over Fibre Modem

FRM220-Serial RS-485 / 232 over Fibre Modem

The FRM220-SERIAL is a fibre optic modem for asynchronous RS232, RS485 and RS422 applications. The modem is available with multi or singlemode optics and can be fitted with a variety of fibre optic connectors ST, SC, FC/PC or a modular SFP option. The FRM220-SERIAL secures data transmission over EMI resistant fibre at speeds up to 256Kbps for RS232 or up to 1024Kbps for RS485/422. Both 2 and 4 wire (full and half duplex) RS485/RS422 operation is supported. The serial interface is presented as a 6 wire screw terminal block. When the FRM220-SERIAL card is placed alongside an NMC management card, remote configuration and monitoring via web browser or SNMP can be achieved on both the local and remote units.
