The BCI 520E Series is a low-cost, high performance Digital Fiber Optic
Multiple RS-232 or RS-422 Channel Data Transmission System, providing
simultaneous transmission of multiple serial data channels, and offering
a high channel density solution for low-bandwidth applications.
The standard 520E system is designed to transport sixteen asynchronous
RS-232 data channels, or eight asynchronous RS-422 data channels,
over long distances with a single or pair of singlemode or multimode
fiber. Data rates for the 520E are up to 128 kbps for each RS-232 channel,
or up to 750 kbps to 1 Mbps for each RS-422 channel. Lastly, the
520E’s can be configured for various distances depending on the
application.
The 520E provides front panel LED indicators for power and optical link
status.
The 520E is available in a standalone or card cage format, thereby
accommodating multiple configurations, depending on the application.
