Fibre optic modems are often used in data communication systems to bridge long distances at high data rates. Fibre optic systems are particularly immune to electromagnetic interference and therefore very suitable for harsh industrial environments. Westermo products can transmit data at up to 12 Mbit/s over distances up to 80
km depending on the fibre type.
Point to point
RS-232 or RS-422/485 for point to point communication.
Fibre line sharing devices
RS-232 or RS-422/485 in multi-point, ring or redundant ring applications.
The new fibre optic modems, ODW-series, are available with 4 different transceivers: LC-2 Multimode 5 km, LC-15 Single mode 15 km, LC-40 Single mode 40 km, LC-80 Single mode 80 km.
