Comnet FDX72S1SHR Universal Data Self Healing Ring

The ComNet™ FDX72S1SHR Self-Healing Ring Transceiver unit is a fully-digital modem designed for implementing RS232, RS422 or RS485 2 or 4-wire data communications networks of the highest possible reliability. A network of FDX72SHR units can support one full-duplex or two half-duplex data channels. These transceivers also feature data translation to convert between data protocols. Data re-clocking and regeneration permit an almost unlimited number of transceiver/controller units to be used within the network. These environmentally hardened transceivers are ideal for use in unconditioned out-of-plant or roadside installations and, unlike many competing designs, only one optical fiber is required between units to implement a fully self-healing ring. Bi-color indicating LEDs are provided for rapidly ascertaining equipment operating status, including the location of fiber breaks. Plug-and-play design ensures ease of installation, and no electrical or optical adjustments are ever required.
