Electro-optic convertors make the switch

Lemo has developed a range of electro-optic convertors that provide a simple, rugged solution for upgrading an existing copper system to fibre optics.

Lemo has developed a range of electro-optic convertors that provide a simple, rugged solution for upgrading an existing copper system to fibre optics.

Copper systems that may be limited by bandwidth or distance can be easily upgraded to fibre optics to improve speed, bandwidth and overall performance.

The convertors are designed to plug directly into existing Lemo copper based connectors and provide a bidirectional fibre-optic link through an inline Lemo connector.

Currently, the convertors are designed for RS232 and 10/100Base-T Ethernet applications.

The development of the electro-optic convertors further enhances the Lemo range of electrical and fibre-optic connectors already available.

The Lemo range is used in many test and instrumentation application as well as markets such as medical, autosport and military.

The modular design of the Lemo connector range, aligned with the ruggedised construction allows a suitable connector to be chosen for most applications and environments.

Contact types within the Lemo range include multipole, coaxial, triaxial, high voltage and thermocouple as well as fibre optic.

Hybrid connectors using a mixture of contact types are also available.

A cable harness design and manufacturing service completes the support available to the customer, from connector selection through to final assembly.

All harnesses are supplied having been fully tested on advanced test equipment.

The cable harness assembly service is available for both electrical and fibre-optic connectors.
