The PCFiberlynx from Lightwave Communications is an inexpensive fiber optic extension
system for PC-compatible or SUN computers. A user may be located up to 1000 meters from
the CPU and have complete interaction with the CPU through keyboard, mouse, serial, video,
and audio devices.
Two models of PCFiberlynx systems are available:
•
PS/2 type, for PC-compatible computers and peripherals (pn 200.100.02xx)
•
PC/SUN, for PC or SUN type computers and peripherals (pn 200.100.01xx)
The PCFiberlynx consists of a matched pair of units: a
transmitter
(shown above) and a
receiver
(shown below). The transmitter is located with the CPU, and has a LOCAL MONITOR
connector to support a monitor near the CPU if needed, while the receiver is located with the
user peripherals (keyboard, mouse, Primary user monitor, etc.) and also supports an Auxiliary
monitor, if desired.
A six-strand fiber-optic cable is used to connect the two units. The fiber optic cable uses ST-
type connectors on its fibers. There are no metallic connections between the units.
A cable kit is included with the PCFiberlynx to connect the transmitter to the CPU. All cables in
this kit are ten feet long; longer cables are also available from Lightwave Communications.
