Black Box Industrial Opto-Isolated Serial to Fiber Single-Mode SC Converter

The Black Box ICD116A industrial serial to fiber converter offers robust performance and compliance with strict industry standards. Encased in an IP30-rated metal enclosure, this rugged device has undergone rigorous testing to meet IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 specifications, making it suitable for electrical substation and transportation applications. Its fiber-based design ensures immunity to electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference (EMI/RFI), extending serial data transmission over single-mode fiber up to 15 kilometers (9.3 miles). This capability is essential for reliable long-distance communication in demanding industrial environments.

The ICD116A supports fiber ring communication with up to 31 other units, enabling redundant network topologies that enhance system reliability. Equipped with 2-kV triple isolation, it provides an additional layer of safeguarding for both data integrity and equipment protection. Its wide temperature tolerance from -30°F to +185°F (-40°C to +85°C) ensures stable operation in extreme conditions. Designed to withstand shock and vibration, it is engineered for durability in challenging industrial settings.

This rail-mountable transceiver features a heavy-duty, IP30-rated metal case that facilitates secure panel mounting. As an environmentally friendly and TAA-compliant device manufactured in the United States, the ICD116A combines industrial strength with compliance standards. Its straightforward serial-to-fiber conversion makes it ideal for extending serial communication links over long distances while maintaining data integrity and system reliability. The device is backed by a five-year limited warranty, ensuring trusted performance over time.
