CAN FO, Fiber Optic Repeater
Converter from ISO 11898 CAN to fiber optic cable
Remark: This product is discontinued and no longer available.
We recommend to use the successor product, CAN-CR110/FO
The FO Repeater is used for the conversion of the CAN bus signal from copper wire (ISO 11898-2) to fiber optic cables. This provides a complete isolation and protection against EM-influences.
One special feature of the Repeater is that it separates a defective segment from the rest of the network so that the remaining network can continue working. After elimination of the defect, the segment is switched into the network again.
Features and benefits
- Fiber optic enables transmission during high electromagnetic disturbances
- Increased system reliability
- Almost no influence on real-time behavior
