Wiring up industrial-grade fiber optic switches
Most modern fiber-enabled network switches require an SFP transceiver module featuring a duplex (two strand) multimode OM3 or duplex single mode OS2 connection with LC connectors. Converged Plantwide Ethernet (CPwE) is the underlying architecture that provides standard network services for control and information disciplines, devices, and equipment found in modern industrial automation and control system (IACS) applications. The Industrial Fiber Optics line of emitters and detectors are by far the most economical way we've found to create a simple fiber link between two devices. The IF-E97 emitter is literally just a superbright red LED in a fancy plastic module that makes it easy to insert a piece of optical fiber and. The fiber switch obtains its power from a 24V UL Listed for Fire Application, Power Limited - Regulated Power Supply.
