FOSTDRP
B&B Electronics fiber optic converters provide an economical
and reliable method to use fiber in your data communications
system. They support RS-232/422/485 on any asynchronous
serial device. These models require an external power source.
Optional power supplies are available. Model FOSTDRP is a
fiber-to-fiber duplex repeater. It squares off and amplifies the
fiber signal, doubling its range and overcoming fiber loss and
connector loss.
Features
• Monitor & control dozens of RS-232 nodes by cascading - FDS4FE
• RS-422/485 data rates to 460 Kbps, RS-232 to 115.2 Kbps
• RJ-45 expansion port extends RS-422 from each unit
Model FDF4SE is a serial to fiber converter and network hub.
Up to four pairs of fiber cable can be connected to a single RS-
232/422/485 serial port. If the PC port is RS-485, each fiber
port can be addressed individually. Each fiber pair can be
connected to a Model FDS4FE to monitor, poll or control four
or more serial devices. Model FDS4FE converts a fiber signal to
serial and acts as a network hub to monitor and control up to
four RS-232 serial devices.
Features
• Wide input power range of (10-30 VDC)
• Wide temperature range (-40° to 80°C)
• Data rates to 115.2 Kbps
• Modbus compatible

If only one pair of fiber cables will be used, a serial to fiber
converter (above) may be used in place of the Model FDF4SE.
Both Models FDF4SE and FDS4FE have RJ-45 RS-422
expansion ports. By using the expansion ports and cascading
devices to similar hubs you can increase the network size.
Panel mount cases are 5.6 x 3.8 x 1.3 in (14.1 x 9.7 x 3.2 cm)
Each unit requires power of 10 to 30 VDC. Optional 15 VDC
power supply is available.
