The VERSITRON F280xD series RS-232 serial data to fiber converter makes it easy to transmit data, clock, and control signals over fiber optics. It supports both synchronous and asynchronous data transfer, with adjustable data rates of up to 128 Kbps in terminal timing.

This serial-to-fiber converter is built for reliable performance in both full-duplex and simplex transmission modes. Its circuit card design makes it a great fit for data terminals or communication equipment.

The RS-232 fiber optic modem (FOM II modem) supports interface control signals for these standards:

• RS-232 or CCITT V.24/V.28
• RS-423
• MIL-STD-188-114A

This is accomplished by multiplexing the control signals along with clock and data signals and transmitting this serialized signal to the remote unit. At the remote unit, the signal is demultiplexed and applied to the interface.

The F280xD series comes in both DCE (Data Communications Equipment) and DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) configurations. It operates in pairs, ensuring a smooth and transparent connection over fiber optics.
