Converter serial interface – optical fibre
ODW-622 is a fibre optic modem that converts between electrical RS-232 and a fibre
optical link.
ODW-622 can also be used to convert from RS-232 to RS-485 by using a
ODW-622 in the same link as ODW-632.
Repeater – optical fibre links
ODW-622 is a fibre optic repeater that repeats received data from one fibre link out to
the other link. This is useful e.g. for long distance communication, where electromagnetic
interference may occur or when isolation of the electrical network is needed. The maxi-
mum optical fibre distance depends on selected fibre transceiver and fibre type. Distances
up to 80 km (50 miles) are available.
