RS232 Single Channel Links
SubStation Hardened RS232 Serial Copper
to Fiber Link/Repeaters
For Reliable Substation Communications
Dymec models 5843 and 5844 are hardened fiber optic
Link/Repeaters that convert RS232 or TTL level
 copper
to amplitude based fiber output. 5843 and 5844
Link/Repeaters support data rates from dc to 250k bps, DCE
or DTE port configuration and a diagnostic/test mode that
allows testing of the copper and fiber connections before
the connected IED is active in the network.
Dymec Links media converters are Class 1, Div 2 certified
for use in hazardous locations in the US and
Canada. The Class 1, Div 2 certification mark allows use of Dymec Links in
ignitable environments requiring spark-free operation. This
is a requirement for many customers, particularly those in
petroleum and petrochemical applications, where hazardous
ignitable environments abound.
By simply setting a few switches, the Dymec 5843 and 5844
Link/Repeaters can be configured for point-to-point, star,
optical bus, or loop networks, and permit quick, easy
connection of devices. For example, an extensive multi-drop
network -- where two or more intelligent electrical devices
are connected and communicating -- can be constructed simply
by connecting the devices through Link/Repeaters.
5843 and 5844 Link/Repeaters may optically connect
devices of different formats, eliminating the need for
format converters. For example, an RS232 IED may be
connected to a model 5844 which is optically connected to a
model 5846, which, in turn, can communicate electrically to
its IED electrically in EIA 485.
