Overview
Introduction
TCF-90 is a compact size, high-speed RS-232 to Optic Fiber converter
which handles the extension of RS-232 transmission from simply 15
meters to 5 km (TCF-90-M, multi-mode) or 40 km (TCF-90-S, single-
mode) without supplying external power to it. The TCF-90 series is
designed to drain the power from the attached serial port. It allows two
RS-232 serial devices to connect to each other in full duplex
transmission via the reliable optic fiber. Moreover, the TCF-90 isolates
the devices from the dangerous ground potential rise, ground loops,
and also the electrical EMI/RFI noise. It greatly reduces RF radiation
and susceptibility. Data security is also enhanced by almost nonexistent
electromagnetic emissions.
