Alkalmazás

A pair of FlexPoint 232 modules provide the serial connection between a PC and Terminal Server allowing access to multiple data devices via fiber. Multimode or single-mode fiber can be used, and fiber links can be extended up to 60km using single-mode fiber.

The FlexPoint 232 is a modular RS-232 to fiber media converter that provides reliable and cost-effective fiber extension for serial connections.

The asynchronous RS-232 interface supports speeds up to 115,200 baud and supports RTS, CTS, DCD, DTR, and DSR hardware flow control signals providing plug-and-play connectivity with most serial devices. It features a switch for convenient connection to DTE or DCE equipment.

The fiber port operates at 850nm or 1310nm and features ST, SC, MT-RJ or LC connectors. Multimode fiber models support distances of up to 5km, and single-mode fiber models support distances of up to 60km.

The FlexPoint 232 features descriptions of the LED indicators on the label for easy in-the-field installation and maintenance. The LEDs report the availability of power, DTE/DCE selection, fiber loopback status, port activity and link status.

The FlexPoint 232 features remote loopback capability by testing the fiber link end-to-end from one physical location.

FlexPoint modules can be mounted utilizing optional wallmounting hardware or with DIN-rail mounting brackets. They can also be rack-mounted in a 5-Module shelf or in a high-density 14-Module, power-redundant Powered Chassis.

FlexPoint modules installed in the 5-Module shelf or used as standalone devices can be powered by an external AC to DC power adapter, or through the 5VDC chassis connector. Standalone modules can also be powered by attaching an external DC power supply (18-60VDC). When used in the 14-Module power-redundant Powered Chassis with any combination of AC and DC power supplies, the installed modules are powered via the 5VDC chassis connector.

The wide variety of FlexPoint mounting and power options provide flexible upgrade paths as network requirements change and grow.

FlexPoint unmanaged media converters are easy to use and provide dependable fiber connectivity in Enterprise and Government networks around the world.
