Transceivers/Media Converters

The ComNet™ FDX55 series consists of fully-digital transceiver units designed for implementing simplex or full-duplex RS232 Drop-and-Repeat poll-and-respond traffic signalization/communications data networks utilizing one or two optical fibers. These environmentally-hardened units are ideal for use in unconditioned out-ofplant or roadside installations and the master-configured transceiver unit may be located anywhere within the network, making this equipment ideal for applications involving on-street master controllers with upstream and downstream communication requirements. These units are compatible with the FDX50, FDX51 and FDX52 Series of optical modems, and ComNet model FDX55BE may be used as a cost-effective solution for use as a line-terminating transceiver. Manually resettable anti-streaming is included for unparalleled network protection. Optional battery backup capability provides the highest level of network reliability in the event of a loss of local prime operating power, and maintains continuous communications channel operation. Plug-and-play design ensures ease of installation and no electrical or optical adjustments are ever required.

The ComNet FDX60(M,S)[-M] data transceivers provide point-to-point transmission of simplex or duplex EIA RS232/RS422/RS485 (2W/4W) data signals over one or two optical fibers. The transceivers are transparent to data encoding allowing for broad-range compatibility. Models within this series are available for use with multimode or single mode optical fiber.

Features for FDX60 Series

• Fiberlink Fiber Link Tester
• Voltage transient protection on all power and signal input/output lines provides protection from power surges and other voltage transient events.
• Tested and certified by an independent laboratory for full compliance with the environmental requirements (ambient operating temperature, mechanical shock, vibration, humidity with condensation, high-line/low-line voltage conditions and transient voltage protection) of NEMA TS-1/ TS-2 and the Caltrans Specification for Traffic Signal Control Equipment.
• Standard ComFit models are hot-swappable.
• Lifetime Warranty
• ComFit standard form factor is designed for wall, surface, rack, or DIN rail mount installations (using optional card cage or DIN mounting bracket).
• Compact form-factor saves space in those installations where space may be at a premium.
