DESCRIPTION

TheFirecommsDCto10MBdRedLink®transmitter

isbasedonthehighlyreliableFirecommsdesigned

Resonant Cavity Light Emitting Diode (RCLED)

technology.



It is housed in a non‐conducting plastic RedLink®

connector.The10MBdtransmitterisgrayincolour.

ThehousingsarecompatiblewiththeVersatileLink

style fiber

 plug and are  optimized for use with

PlasticOpticFiber(POF)andPlasticCladSilica(PCS).



Thetransmitter can be driven from TTLtypelogic

drivers.Itoperatesovertheindustrialtemperature

range of‐40⁰C to +85⁰C, supporting many
