Fiber Optic Transmitter Board: 2 Digital Channels
- Two channels of fiber optic digital transmitters
- Directly interfaces to fiber cable without needing optical connectors
- 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 FOTX102 provides two digital fiber optic transmitter channels. This product is intended to typically be used with fiber optic receiver board FORX102.
This board includes terminal blocks on the input side to provide convenient connections for the signals. The inputs are designed to interface with equipment using logic voltages of anywhere from 3.3V to 24V. On the output side, the fiber optic transmitters directly interface with fiber optic cable, eliminating the need for optical connectors. This provides both a convenient 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.FOTX102-DIN
