Applications
Firecomms fiber optical transceiver products with Plastic Optical or Plastic Clad Fiber (POF/PCS) links offer many advantages in a range of applications, from industrial automation to transportation and home networking:
- EMI/RFI immunity ideal for industrial, harsh, noisy environments
- Galvanic isolation between transmitter and receiver
- Visible spectrum operation enables eye-safe, fast troubleshooting
- Low power consumption, transmitters capable of operation at 3-4mA
- Durable, flexible and lightweight
- Resilient to bending and vibrations
- High reliability for extended machine uptime
- Industrial temperature in range of -40 to +85°C
- Reduced maintenance cycle time provides up to a 20-year lifecycle on transceivers and cables
- Simplified field installation for easy termination of large core optical fibers in custom distances
