Function
The W&T Interface 81210 allows bi-directional conversion of an
RS232 interface into a fiber optic interface with a transmission
speed of up to 230.000 bps. The interface works independent-
ly of the data format used and converts one data line in each
direction.
Connectors
The fiber optic cables are connected to the converter using ST
series connectors, with a DB9 plug for the RS232 connection.
The arrangement of the signal connectors on the front panel of
the interface can be seen from the following illustration:
