Product Description
The Fiberplex FOI - DST3 - ST Isolator is a top - notch solution for T3 or DS3 communications. It offers complete electrical isolation, making it ideal for high - electrical - noise areas or use inside and outside RF shielded enclosures. Fiber optic cables used in this isolator are immune to interference from impulse noise, crosstalk, or EMI, and they don't radiate emissions, enhancing communication privacy. Moreover, fiber optic cables can transmit data much farther than copper wiring. Traditional T3 coax cabling is limited to 1100ft (335m), but the multimode optics on this unit can reach up to 2km, and single - mode optics can go up to 20km. Key features include a data rate of 44.736 Mbps, compliance with ANSI T1.102 - 1993, Telcordia GR - 499 - COR, and ITU - T G.775 for loss of signal. It's suitable for SONET Add/Drop Multiplexers (ADMs), PDH Equipment, ATM WAN access routers and switches, and meets K41 protection specifications for T3 systems. The unit uses multimode ST optics. Technical specs: Power requires a voltage range from 7V to 12V (typical 9V) with a supply current of 300 mA. Storage temperature is from - 40 to 85 °C, and operating temperature is from 0 to 50 °C. Data rate is 44.736 Mbps, line encoding is AMI or B3ZS, and the interface connector is BNC. Multimode has a size of 62.5 / 125 μm, a max distance of 2 km, a wavelength of 1300 nm, output power of - 16 dBm, receiver sensitivity of - 33 dBm, and a loss budget of 17 dB.
Using the Fiberplex FOI - DST3 - ST Isolator is straightforward. First, make sure the power supply voltage is within the range of 7V to 12V (a typical 9V works great). Connect the device using the BNC interface connector. You can use it in areas with high electrical noise or inside and outside RF shielded enclosures. When it comes to cabling, choose between multimode or single - mode fiber optic cables according to your distance needs. Multimode can reach up to 2km, while single - mode can go up to 20km. Keep in mind the operating temperature should be between 0 and 50 °C, and for storage, it can be from - 40 to 85 °C. To maintain the isolator, keep it clean and avoid exposing it to extreme conditions. If you notice any issues like loss of signal, check if it meets the relevant standards (ANSI T1.102 - 1993, Telcordia GR - 499 - COR, ITU - T G.775). And that's all you need to know to use and take care of your Fiberplex isolator.
