The RMC20 is a protocol-independent serial-to-fiber and serial standards converter designed to allows RS485, RS422, or RS232 devices or networks to communicate over secure, noise immune, optically isolated, fiber optic cabling at extended distances.
• Protocol independent RS485, RS422,
or RS232 (user selectable) conversion to multimode fiber optics
(ST connector only)
• RS232 to RS485/422 conversion mode
• Extend lengths of serial connections (up to 5km/hop)
• Media conversation is transparent to end devices
• Exceeds IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 standards for communication equipment in electric power substations.
• Operates over a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C without the use of fans for improved reliability
