October 1, 2013 - Antaira Technologies announces STF-401C Serial-To-Fiber Converter, designed to protect connected serial equipment from surges, spikes and electrostatic discharges carried on the serial cable to the fiber optic cable. The STF-401C series is built to withstand industrial networking hazards like shock, drop, vibration, electromagnetic interference (EMI) and temperature extremes. Version options in a 0 ~ 60°C model range or an extended - 40 ~ 70°C range are available. It secures asynchronous RS-232, RS-485 or RS-422 serial data transmissions over EMI resistant fiber at speeds up to 1024kbps with distance extension up to 2km in multimode fiber or up to 30km in single mode fiber models.
With its Compact Size design, the STF-401C is a perfect solution for either Point-to-Point, or half duplex single ring topology Serial Fiber Daisy Chain Network applications. Key Features:
- Extends serial transmission distance up to 2km, 30km
- Supports Point-to-Point, fiber daisy chain or ring connections
- Fan-less and DIN-Rail design for harsh industrial environments
- Compact size design: 1.35”W x 3.6”D x 4.7”H
- Adjustable pull high/low resistor and terminator for RS-422/485 transmission
Applications would include:
- Industrial manufacturing in Factory Automation
- Remote sensing and signaling/metering in ITS
- EMI resistant for IEDs data transmission in Substation Automation
- Process Control Automation applications, such as WWTP and Oil/Gas/Mining
