Chapter 1 Introduction
Medium distance link using fibre optic (FOLK) kit
The RIO fibre optic (FOLK) kit allows you to extend the range of a RIO link via fibre optic
cable to a distance of up to one kilometre. The kit comprises two fibre optic modules. (A
module is shown on
page 175 ). Each module consists of a 1 metre long RIO link cable
connected to a fibre optic converter. This converts the transputer signals into light. The fibre
optic cable plugs into one of these converters at each end.
