Universal RS232/422/485 Data Point-to-Point Transceiver
FDX70E(A,B)(M,S)1
HARDENEDINCLUDED
The ComNet™ FDX70 data transceivers provide point-to-point transmission of
simplex or duplex EIA RS232/RS422/RS485 (2W/4W) data signals over one single
mode or multimode optical fiber. The transceivers are transparent to data encoding
allowing for broad-range compatibility. Models within this series are available for use
with multimode or single mode optical fiber. Plug-and-play design ensures ease of
installation requiring no electrical or optical adjustments.

FEATURES
› Meets EIA RS232C/D and RS422/RS485 (2 or 4-wire)
specifications
› Designed to meet full compliance with the environmental
requirements (ambient operating temperature, mechanical
shock, vibration, humidity with condensation, high-line/lowline voltage conditions and transient voltage protection) of
NEMA TS-1/TS-2 and the Caltrans Specification for Traffic
Signal Control Equipment.
› Robust design assures extremely high reliability in
unconditioned out-of-plant/roadside environments
› NTCIP compatible
› Remote Fault Indication allows the user to determine when a
fiber break or loss of prime operating power has occurred, or
a transceiver in the field has failed
› Voltage transient protection on all power and signal input/
output lines provides protection from power surges and other
voltage transient events.
› Wide optical dynamic range: optical attenuators are never
required
› Bi-color (Red/Green) LED status indicators provide rapid
indication of critical operating parameters
› Hot-swappable rack modules
› Interchangeable between stand-alone or rack mount use –
ComFit
› May be DIN-rail mounted with the ComNet model DINBKT1
or DINBKT4 adaptors (sold separately)
› Lifetime Warranty
APPLICATIONS
› Access Control Systems
› Building Automation and Environmental Control Systems
› Computer/Data Equipment
› Fire and Alarm Systems
› Traffic Signal Control Equipment
