Fiber Optic Receiver Board: 2 Digital Channels
- Two channels of fiber optic digital receivers
- Directly interfaces to fiber cable without needing optical connectors
- Non-inverting open-collector output for each channel
- Optical link provides high level of isolation and electromagnetic immunity
- LEDs provide visual indication for each signal
- Wide operating voltage range (3.3V to 24V)
- Suitable for signals from 3.3V logic up to 24V logic
- Mounting Options: Rubber Feet, Panel, or DIN Rail
General Description
The FORX102 provides two digital fiber optic receiver channels with non-inverting, open-collector outputs. The outputs are designed to interface with equipment using logic voltages of anywhere from 3.3V to 24V. This product is intended to typically be used with fiber optic transmitter board FOTX102.
This board includes terminal blocks on the output side to provide convenient access to the signals. On the input side, the fiber optic receivers directly interface with fiber optic cable, eliminating the need for optical connectors. This provides both a convienent and economical solution.

Mounting Options
These products are available in two different mounting variants. Product numbers ending with -DIN come with DIN clips already installed and ready to snap onto 35mm or 32mm DIN rail. Product numbers ending with -FT have stick-on rubber feet installed on the bottom side, allowing for benchtop use or panel mounting. For panel mounting, we suggest 1/4" nylon standoffs under the mounting holes, and #6 screws.FORX102-DIN
