Your legacy serial gear sits at the other end of a long cable run and copper just won't get you there. The SCR460SC-3 converts RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 signals over single-mode fibre to 20km. DB-9 on one side, SC fibre on the other. Plug it in, set nothing, go. Auto-detects which serial standard you're running and handles baud rate up to 460.8K with direction control built in. Use it standalone on a bench or slide it into a DCR12 Series rack chassis when you need multiple converters in one unit. Compact all-metal case, hardened against EMI
