SubStation Hardened RS232 Serial

Copper to Fiber Link/Repeaters

For Reliable Substation Communications

Features and Benefits
Technical Description
§ Single Channel RS232 or TTL

Dymec models 5843 and 5844 are hardened fiber optic
Link/Repeaters that convert RS232 or TTL level copper to § Powered from Station Battery
amplitude based fiber output. Supports data rates from dc to 250k Bus to C37.90 or 12 Vdc
bps, DCE or DTE port configuration and a diagnostic/test mode

By simply setting a few switches, the DYMEC 5843 and 5844 § Extended distances of 5 km over

devices. For example, an extensive multi-drop network -- where
two or more intelligent electrical devices are connected and § Multiple Mounting choices with

DYMEC 5843 and 5844 Link/Repeaters may optically connect quality Galva Neal and powder
