EOTec - Model 2E06 - Optical Interface Modules (OIMs) Brochure

2Dxx optical modules provide a full diagnostic output (4-20mA). The output is internally powered and is proportional to the received optical power. The output can be monitored and processed continuously in order to insure the integrity of the fiber optic link. This is beneficial for critical applications such as subsea networking where degradation of the optical signals can be detected before a complete loss of communication occurs. An output less than 4mA indicates loss of optical signal. A pluggable screw terminal connection on the bottom front of the module provides easy access to the output signal.
