Product Description
The RocketLinx MC5001 is a 1-port serial to fiber media
converter designed to extend RS-232/422/485 serial
communications across a fiber media link using two converters.
This product features simple DIP switch configuration, an
extended operating temperature range from -20o to 70oC, and
a wide input voltage range. Cabling to the product is attached
via direct wire screw terminal blocks for serial and power, and
ST connectors for fiber connections. The product is packaged
in a rugged IP30 rated enclosure suitable for panel or DIN rail
mounting.
Single-mode and Multi-mode fiber models meet the needs for
long distance transmission up to 40KM. RocketLinx MC5001

will automatically detect the data baud rate of the connected fullduplex serial device, up to 921Kbps.
The RocketLinx MC5001 supports two transmission
configurations, Peer-to-Peer in half/full-duplex and Serial Fiber
Ring (SFR) in half-duplex. In a Peer-to-Peer configuration, two
fibers are required between the two converters, one for data in
each direction (RX and TX). To expand the number of connected
serial devices, and extend transmission distance, multiple
MC5001 units can link to each other as a ring architechture in
SFR (serial fiber ring) mode.
