BB-FOSTCDRI-INV

Industrial Serial to Multi-Mode Fiber Optic Converter with 2.49 Mile Range

The B+B SmartWorx BB-FOSTCDRI-INV is a premium industrial-grade serial to fiber optic converter designed for robust data communication in harsh environments. This UL-approved converter supports multi-mode fiber transmission up to 2.49 miles (4 km) with comprehensive three-way optical isolation, making it ideal for industrial applications requiring reliable, interference-free data transfer.

Advanced Industrial Communication Features

This industrial-grade converter excels in multi-drop mode operations, enabling one serial device to communicate with up to 31 devices in a fiber ring configuration. The device features an innovative Automatic Send Data Control circuit for RS-422/485 operations, eliminating the need for external software control.

Key Features:
  • Multi-mode fiber optic transmission at 820 nm wavelength
  • Supports 62.5/125 µm fiber optic cable standard
  • DIN rail mountable design for flexible installation
  • Three-way optical isolation for enhanced protection
  • Inverted fiber state functionality for specialized applications

Technical Specifications and Connectivity

The BB-FOSTCDRI-INV features dual ST ports and operates with a power consumption of just 1.30W. Its compact form factor (4.8" x 4.4" x 1.3") and lightweight design (7.04 oz) make it perfect for space-constrained industrial installations.

Installation and Configuration

Setup is streamlined with a 12-position DIP switch for RS-422/485 parameter configuration. The converter utilizes terminal block connections for serial data and power, with ST connectors for fiber optic connectivity. Operation requires a 10-30 VDC external power source (sold separately).

Environmental Compliance and Durability

The converter meets rigorous environmental standards with RoHS and WEEE certifications. Its Class 1/Division 2 certification ensures safe operation in hazardous industrial environments, while providing superior EMI/RFI protection through fiber optic communications.

Model BB-FOSTCDRI is a premium industrial serial to multi-mode fiber optic converter. Its rugged design is UL Approved and certified for Class 1/Division 2 industrial environments. It extends data communications up to 4 km (2.5 mi). It provides three-way optical isolation on the input, output and power lines.

In addition to direct point-to-point connectivity, it is capable of operating in a multi-drop mode. This allows one serial device to communicate with up to 31 other devices around a fiber ring. Since it supports mixed standards, you can replace other converters and isolators and add the EMI / RFI protection inherent to fiber optic communications.

In RS-232 mode, the converter supports Transmit and Receive data. Handshaking signals are not passed through. An Automatic Send Data Control circuit controls the RS-422/485 driver chip, eliminating the requirement for external software.

Easy to install and configure, it has a 12-position DIP switch on the bottom to configure RS-422/485 parameters. Serial data and power cables connect to removable terminal blocks. ST connectors are used for the fiber.

A 10-30 VDC external power source is required (power supply not included, sold separately).

Model BB-FOSTCDRI-INV features an "inverted fiber state" and is suitable for applications requiring the fiber optic transmit light to be Off in the idle state.
