The lightning-proof Strike Guard Fiber-optic Converter provides an economical means to convert standard RS-232 serial communications ports to bi-directional fiber-optic links.

The Strike Guard Fiber-optic Converter replaces unreliable, low- to medium-speed copper serial data lines with low-cost, connector-less, fiber-optic cable. The Strike Guard technology greatly reduces the expense and trouble associated with traditional, glass-based fiber-optic conversion schemes and it provides tremendous enhancement of reliability over twisted-pair, short haul modems.


Strike Guard Fiber-Optic Converters Deliver:
• Lightning-proof and lightning-safe serial communication for greatest reliability and safety
• Greatly increased serial link distance over single-ended, RS-232 copper links
• Instant termination - no connectors, no crimping, no polishing, no epoxy
• Total autonomy from external power supplies
• Elimination of transient suppression devices
• Robust design for long, trouble-free operation
