Up to 32 digital switching signals (24 V DC) can be transmitted unidirectionally via fibre optic cables in a point-to-point connection. The I/O system FOB32 ensures interference-free and fast data transmission in harsh industrial environments or in the field. Optical modules typically have an electrical interface on the side that connects to the inside of the system and an optical interface on the side that connects to the outside. With the fibre optic I/O system FOB, up to 8 digital signals – such as switching, control, clock, synchronisation and fault signals – or up to 4 analogue measured values can be transmitted unidirectionally. Its primary function is to achieve optoelectronic conversion by converting electrical signals into optical signals and vice versa. Also known as an optical transceiver, it sits at the physical layer of the OSI model and. Integrated circuits and reference designs help you create a smaller and faster optical module design used in high-bandwidth data communication applications. Whether you are creating a 100-Gbps or 400-Gbps, small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module, SFP+ transceiver, XFP module, CFP, X2/XENPAK module.
