Product Description
The Fiberplex FOI - DST3 - S - SC Isolator is a top - notch solution for T3 or DS3 communications. It offers complete electrical isolation, making it perfect for areas with high electrical noise or in and out of RF shielded enclosures. The fiber optic cable used in this isolator is immune to interference from impulse noise, crosstalk, or EMI. It also enhances communication privacy as it doesn't radiate any emissions. Moreover, compared to traditional copper wiring, fiber optic cable can transmit data over much longer distances. While traditional T3 coax cabling is limited to 1100ft (335m), the multimode optics on this unit can extend the distance to 2km, and singlemode optics can take it up to 20km. Key features include a data rate of 44.736 Mbps, compliance with multiple standards such as ANSI T1.102 - 1993, Telcordia GR - 499 - COR, and ITU - T G.775 for loss of signal. It's suitable for various applications like SONET Add/Drop Multiplexers (ADMs), PDH Equipment, ATM WAN access routers and switches, and meets K41 protection specifications for T3 systems. It comes with singlemode SC optics. Technical specifications involve a power requirement with a voltage range from 7V to 12V (typical 9V) and a supply current of 300 mA. The storage temperature ranges from - 40 to 85 °C, and the operating temperature is from 0 to 50 °C. The data rate is 44.736 Mbps, with AMI or B3ZS line encoding, a BNC interface connector. For singlemode, it has a size of 9 / 125 μm, a max distance of 20 km, a wavelength of 1300 nm, an output power of - 17 dBm, a receiver sensitivity of - 35 dBm, and a loss budget of 18dB.
Using the Fiberplex FOI - DST3 - S - SC Isolator is quite straightforward. First, make sure to connect it properly to your T3 or DS3 communication equipment using the BNC interface connector. Check that the power supply meets the requirements, with a voltage between 7V and 12V and a supply current of 300 mA. When it comes to placement, you can use it in areas with high electrical noise or inside/outside RF shielded enclosures. Remember, the fiber optic cable is very sensitive, so handle it carefully to avoid any damage. For maintenance, keep it in a clean and dry environment. The storage temperature should be between - 40 and 85 °C, and when in use, make sure the operating temperature stays between 0 and 50 °C. Periodically check the connections to ensure there are no loose parts. If you notice any issues with data transmission, check the fiber optic cable for any signs of damage or improper connection.
