ASYNC FIBER OPTIC MINI MODEM
The Modem comes in a durable plastic case.
The Modem incorporates all the advantages
of a fiberoptic system, providing:
• Lower attenuation than with copper wire.
NOTE
Attenuation is not related to frequency.
• EMI/RFI immunity, saving the cost of expensive
and heavy shielding, and complex error checking
routines.
• Almost absolute security and reduction in the
cost of data encryption; eavesdropping is virtually
impossible since negligible power is radiated from
the fiber.
• Safety and electrical isolation: no spark hazard
and no ground-loop noise problems.
