Comnet COMPAK50M2 Specsheet

RS232/422 Point-To-Point Data Transceiver

COMPAK50M2

(2 × FDX50M2)

INCLUDED

The ComNet™ FDX50M2 data transceivers provide point-to-point transmission of
simplex or duplex EIA RS232/RS422 data signals over two multimode optical
fibers. The transceivers are transparent to data encoding allowing for broad-range
compatibility. Plug-and-play design ensures ease of installation requiring no electrical
or optical adjustments. Each transceiver incorporates a bi-color (Red/Green) indicating
LED for monitoring proper system operation. The FDX50 has a small footprint and is
designed for surface mounting.
