Product Description
The Fiberplex FOI - DST3 - FC Fiber Optic Isolator is designed for T3 or DS3 communications. It offers complete electrical isolation, making it perfect for high - electrical - noise areas or use inside and outside RF shielded enclosures. The fiber optic cable used in this isolator is immune to interference from impulse noise, crosstalk, and EMI. It also enhances communication privacy as it doesn't radiate any emissions. Moreover, compared to traditional copper wiring, fiber optic cable allows for much longer transmission distances. While traditional T3 coax cabling is limited to 1100ft (335m), the multimode optics on this unit can extend the distance to 2km, and single - mode optics can reach 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 applications like SONET Add/Drop Multiplexers (ADMs), PDH Equipment, ATM WAN access routers and switches, and meets K41 protection specifications for T3 systems. The isolator uses multimode FC optics. Technical specs show a power requirement with a voltage range from 7V to 12V (typical 9V) and a supply current of 300 mA. It can be stored at temperatures between - 40°C and 85°C and operated between 0°C and 50°C. The data rate is 44.736 Mbps, line encoding is AMI/B3ZS, and the interface connector is BNC. For multimode, it has a size of 62.5 / 125 μm, a max distance of 2 km, a wavelength of 1300 nm, an output power of - 16 dBm, a receiver sensitivity of - 33 dBm, and a loss budget of 17 dB.
Using the Fiberplex FOI - DST3 - FC Isolator is straightforward. First, make sure the power supply meets the requirements (voltage between 7V and 12V, typical 9V with a supply current of 300 mA). Connect the isolator to your T3 or DS3 communication equipment using the BNC interface connector. When installing, choose a location with an appropriate temperature (operating temperature should be between 0°C and 50°C). Remember that this isolator is great for areas with high electrical noise or for use inside and outside RF shielded enclosures. As for maintenance, keep it in a clean environment. Check the fiber optic cable regularly for any signs of damage. If you notice a significant decrease in performance, it might be due to a dirty or damaged cable. In such cases, you can clean the cable carefully or replace it if necessary. Also, store the isolator at temperatures between - 40°C and 85°C when not in use.
