Industrial Serial Fiber Converters are critical for converting RS232/RS485/RS422 signals to fiber optics, overcoming limitations of copper cables in long-distance, EMI resistance, and data security. Key milestones include:
●Early Stage: Single-protocol, short reach <2km, narrow temperature 0°C~50°C
●Modern Stage: Multi-protocol, redundant power, wide-temperature (-40°C~85°C), long reach (≥20km), and IP40 protection.
Technical Insights of CLIRS93-SC Series
●Core Features & Compatibility
-Multi-Protocol Support: RS232/RS485/RS422 interfaces for PLCs, sensors, HMIs.
-Fiber Flexibility: SC/ST/FC connectors, single/multi-mode fiber options (up to 20km).
●Industrial-Grade Design
-Harsh Environment Ready: Aluminum housing (IP40), -40°C~75°C operation for oil fields, mines, and outdoor base station.
-Redundant Power: 12~48V DC dual inputs (6-pin terminal) for 24/7 reliability.
