FOM-9

Sync/Async High Speed Fiber Optic Modem

The FOM-9 is a miniature sync/async fiber

optic modem operating full or half duplex

over fiber optic cable. It has a range of

15 km (9 miles) over single mode fiber and

operates at selectable data rates up to

128 kbps.

The FOM-9 includes a built-in BER tester

that generates a 511-bit pattern and can be

used for testing the link integrity. Diagnostic

loopbacks according to ITU V.54 can be

activated for fault isolation. Two types of

diagnostic loops are supported: local analog

loop and remote digital loop. The loopback

options and the BER tester can be activated

by toggling pin 18 or 21 on the V.24/RS-232

interface.

When set to asynchronous mode, the

modem internally converts the transmission

to synchronous format, in compliance with

the ITU V.14 standard.

The FOM-9 includes innovative circuits that

allow operation without external power, by

drawing low power from the DTE data and

control signals. In cases where the DTE

cannot provide enough power, the FOM-9

includes a special jack that can be connected

to an external AC power supply adapter.

The modem has six LED indicators to display

the status of the modem: TD, RD, DCD, RTS,

TEST, and ERR.

FOM-8H

High Speed Fiber Optic Modem

The FOM-8H is a high speed fiber optic

modem operating full or half duplex over fiber

optic cable. It has a range of 4 km (2.5 miles)

at data rates up to 56 kbps or 64 kbps.

The FOM-8H has diagnostic capabilities

complying with the ITU V.54 standard. Two

loops are available: local analog loop and

remote digital loop. These are activated by

a manual switch or by toggling the

corresponding pins of the DTE interface (not

applicable with X.21 interface).

Transmit timing is provided by one of three

alternative sources:

• internal oscillator

• loopback clock derived from the receive

signal

• external clock from the terminal

The carrier can be strapped for either

continuous or switched operation,

controlled by the RTS signal.

Several interface options are available:

RS-232/V.24, RS-530, X.21, or V.35. The

modem has LED indicators for TD, DCD,

TEST, and POWER. The FOM-8H is packaged

in a lightweight plastic case.
