Black Box Industrial Opto-Isolated Serial to Fiber Single-Mode SC Converter

Overview
Specs
Reviews
- Meets stringent IEC and IEEE specs.
Encased in an IP30-rated enclosure, the converters been put through some of the most exacting tests in the industry. The high-grade converter meets the requirements of two standards that make it suitable for electrical substation installations-IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613-specifications that are more stringent than NEMA TS1/TS2 requirements for transportation applications.
Plus, as a fiber-based conversion and extension device, its inherently immune to electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference (EMI/RFI) as it uses the optical cable to extend RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 serial data as far as 15 kilometers (9.3 mi.).

The Black Box Industrial Opto-Isolated Serial to Fiber Single-Mode SC Converter extends RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 serial connections over single-mode fiber up to 9.32 miles, making it suitable for industrial and utility networks that need long-distance links with EMI/RFI immunity.
Recommended For
- Industrial automation teams extending RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 links between equipment across long distances, where single-mode fiber runs up to 15 km are needed.
- Controls and utility engineers connecting serial equipment in electrically noisy or surge-prone industrial sites, where fiber’s EMI/RFI immunity and the converter’s 2-kV triple isolation matter.
- Substation or transportation-system integrators seeking a serial-to-fiber converter built for industrial conditions, including shock, vibration, and a wide operating-temperature range.
- Modbus system designers linking a serial controller to multiple devices in a fiber-ring arrangement; Black Box says a ring can include up to 31 other converters.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- In a factory, connect a serial controller to equipment in another area over an existing single-mode fiber route; the link carries RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 data without relying on a long copper serial run.
- At an electrical substation or near industrial machinery, extend serial communications over fiber to reduce exposure to electrical and radio-frequency interference; the converter’s isolation also helps limit the effects of ground loops and voltage anomalies.
- For a remote Modbus installation, connect an RS-485 or RS-232 device to a controller over fiber; the converter supports Modbus ASCII and RTU, helping preserve the serial connection across a longer site layout.
- When one serial host needs to communicate with several remote devices, configure the converters for a multidrop fiber-ring arrangement; Black Box specifies support for communication with up to 31 other converters in the ring.
- For a point-to-point link between serial equipment at opposite ends of a site, use a converter at each end to bridge the serial interfaces to single-mode fiber; this is suited to long-distance connections where a direct serial cable is impractical.
