Overview
Fiber 232® Model 4106 POF Fiber Optic Repeater with Custom RS232 Traffic Monitor Port, RoHS Compliant
The Electro Standards Model 4106 Fiber 232® is a POF fiber-optic repeater designed to extend RS232 communications while providing electrical isolation between connected equipment. The unit regenerates serial data over plastic optical fiber and provides a dedicated DB9 RS232 monitor port for connection to a PC or serial network analyzer.By replacing a metallic communication path with fiber, the Model 4106 helps eliminate ground-loop problems and reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic and electrostatic interference. This makes it well suited for industrial automation, instrumentation, test and measurement, control systems, kiosks, and other applications requiring reliable communication between electrically separated RS232 devices.

The POF Fiber Optic Signal Repeater with RS232 Monitor Port is used to regenerate data signals in order to extend the range between optically linked equipment. It also has the capability to monitor network traffic via an RS232 Monitor Port. The fiber optic communication standard also allows data transmission that is no longer susceptible to electrostatic or electromagnetic fields. Additionally, the RS232 monitor port is protected from damage by potential differences (ground variations) that often exist between them.
Model 4106 Fiber Optic Repeater VLT Application:
Copper Interface to Plastic Fiber Optical (POF) to Copper Interface
The drawing illustrates the Model 4106 POF Fiber Repeater with a DB9 copper interface connector as a monitor and two Plastic Optical Fiber Versalink connectors. The DB9 is connected to a PC / Network Analyzer. The POF Versalink connectors are linked to Video Gaming Machines. Video Gaming Machines are also linked to the two POF Fiber Optic connectors of the Model 4139. The DB9 connector of the Model 4139 is connected to the controller.
Typical Applications for the Model 4106 Fiber Optic Repeater:
- Industrial automation and machine control
- Test and measurement systems
- Remote instrumentation
- Data acquisition and monitoring
- Aerospace and defense test equipment
- Building and facility control systems
- Transportation and infrastructure systems
- Kiosks and self-service equipment
- Legacy RS232 equipment requiring fiber isolation
The Model 4106 supports POF Versatile Link connections and includes an RS232 DB9 traffic-monitoring interface for convenient system diagnostics and troubleshooting.
