Antaira: Industrial Serial-To-Fiber Converter

Antaira Technologies is a leading developer of Industrial Networking and Device connectivity solutions for harsh environment applications and is proud to be expanding its Serial product family with a new series of Industrial Serial-To-Fiber converters.  The STF-500C series is designed to isolate and protect connected equipment from surges, spikes and electrostatic discharges carried on the serial cable to the fiber optic cable.

The STF-500C series is built to withstand industrial networking hazards like shock, drop, vibration, electromagnetic interference (EMI) and temperature extremes. Version options in a standard 0 ~ 60°C model range or an extended -40 ~ 75°C range are available. It secures asynchronous RS-232, RS-485 or RS-422 serial data transmissions over EMI resistant fiber at speeds up to 1024kbps.

This series provides Single (STF-501C series) or Dual (STF-502C series) Fiber Port models  with SC or ST type fiber options in Multi-mode 2Km, or Single-mode 30Km solutions. It is designed with Advanced Features to provide High Performance solutions to customers, including:
 

•    Data Protection:

•   Built-in RS485 auto detection feature

•  15KV ESD Protection and 2.5KV Isolation protection

•   10 position Rotary Switch for RS422/485 Pull high/low feature.

•    Secure Serial Network:

•    STF-501C model supports Point-to-Point application, One Way Daisy Chain, and Ring Topology  Fiber Network in Half Duplex solutions
•  STF-502C model supports Applications such as:
•  Point-to-Point solutions with Single Duplex Fiber connection (without Protection), or Dual Duplex Fiber connection (with Fiber Protection)

•   Daisy Chain solution with Duplex Fiber connection

•   Full Duplex Redundancy Serial Fiber Network with Dual Fiber connections

•   Easy Maintenance:

•    STF-500C series supports relay output for power or link failure warning
•    Front LED indicators will allow user to easily monitor for any Power, TD/RD, or Fiber Link failure.
