LDM80 Signal Powered Fiber Optic Modem
The LDM80 is a small,
inexpensive fiber optic
transmitter/receiver completely
powered by the host
RS-232 port. The enclosure for
the LDM80 is a conductive shell
which greatly reduces RF
radiation and susceptibility. The
rugged metal enclosure is small
enough to mount on the back
panel of typical computer
equipment saving valuable desk
and floor space. A pair of these
units allows most RS-232C cable
links to be replaced and
extended with a duplex fiber
optic cable. The normal 50-foot
RS-232 limit may be extended to
2.2 miles (3.5 km). Fiber optic
data communications provide
complete EMI/RFI rejection,
isolation, elimination of ground
loops, and reduced error rates.
Data security is enhanced by
almost nonexistent
electromagnetic emissions.

Optical Connectors ST
The RS-232 connection is
through male or female EIA
25-pin connectors. The fiber
optic connection is through ST
connectors. The LDM80 is
equivalent to a 3-wire, full
duplex, RS-232 circuit.
Handshake signals are locally
connected as in Figure 1.
Notes: (1) TD = Transmit Data, RD = Receive Data, RTS = Request To Send, CTS =
Clear To Send. DTR = Data Terminal Ready, DSR = Data Set Ready, RLSD = Received Line
Signal Detect.

Program
SM
Indicating LEDs come on during
a "SPACE" on transmit or receive
data. A TD/RD reversing DIP
switch is provided for connection
to DTE (Data Terminal
Equipment) or DCE (Data
Communication Equipment)
ports.
Recommended Cables
The LDM80 optical transmitter
may be used with a wide range
of fiber sizes. Specifications are
for 100/140µm. Other fiber sizes
may be used with a resulting
different cable loss budget.
