Serial to Fiber Optic Converters, Modems, & Hubs

Many commercial and industrial environments present electrical noise and ground differential challenges, especially over long distances. Fiber optic links solve those problems, providing high bandwidth connections that are impervious to noise and ground differentials

Fiber optic data transmission uses light in glass for spanning areas with severe interference. Fiber optic cable carries serial data reliably up to 4 kilometers (2.5 miles), much further than conventional copper lines.

SEL fiber optic transceivers provide isolation from dangerous ground potential rise, prevent induced electrical noise, and eliminate signal ground loops.

These hubs are designed to provide communication from one asynchronous serial port to four fiber optic ports at a distance up to 2.5 miles.

Ethernet Media Converters increase LAN distance and protect against interference. These converters change Ethernet twisted pair copper wires into fiber optic signals. Fiber optic is impervious to interference and will extend the distance of a network 2km in each segment.

Test fiber cable on the roll or installed: pulsing light source for testing fiber optic cables. It is important to check fiber optic cables for continuity both on the roll and after installation.

Fiber optic is a fast-growing communication medium. B&B Electronics offers ST, SC and LC patch cords along with miscellaneous adapters. Custom lengths of simplex multi-mode fiber are available.
