Description
The ComNet™ FDX50M2 and FDX51M2 data
transceivers are interchangeable by application
and 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 broadrange 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. Packaged in the
exclusive ComNet ComFit housing, FDX51 units may be
either wall or rack-mounted, or may be DIN-rail mounted
by the addition of ComNet model DINBKT1 adaptor
plate.
