7.10.3 Optical Transmission
The 485-2 series has been designed to be a reliable link for the transmission of data over long
distances. The loss budget of 15 dB on 16.2u fiber should allow up to 5 kilometers of
transmission distance.
The power output specifications are measured with a logic low state on the bus. When the bus is
in the high impedance state, the transmission LED is at a very low output level (<-36dBm). Logic
levels are encoded using pulse width modulation. If the optical connection is lost, the output bus
goes to the HiZ state.
IFS (International Fiber Systems, Inc.) also follows similar specifications in their D1300 and
D2300 series of RS-485 (Tri-state) fiber optics transceivers and repeaters. The following diagram
illustrates the basic wiring connection using either of the 2 systems. Refer to the installation
instructions of the specific supplier for more information.
NOTE: The MX-485-2, D2300 and D1300 have not been evaluated by UL, and is not
suitable for UL installations.
