Table 2-7 FRM-DATA RS-232 cable
The FRM-DATA is a media converter for V.35, RS-232, RS-530, X.21 or RS-449 high-speed synchronous or low-
speed synchronous and asynchronous data transmission over optical fiber media. All media converters are
available with either multi-mode or single-mode optical transceiver and with connectors for SC, ST, or FC. In single
mode, WDM (Wave Division Multiplexing with SC connector) is also available in 20 or 40KM reach, which will
provide the ability to transmit and receive data using only a single optical fiber. A unique feature of the FRM-Data
converter is the use of a common PCB card which may either be used as a standalone converter (FMC series) or
placed in the FRM220 rack.
