Industrial Opto-Isolated Serial Converter

The Black Box ICD116A extends RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485 signals over single-mode fibre up to 15 kilometres. It serves engineers who need reliable serial links in electrically noisy environments such as substations or transport infrastructure.

IP30 Enclosure With Rail-Mount Power

An IP30-rated metal housing protects the electronics while a rail-mountable power adapter fits standard DIN rails inside cabinets. Fibre connectivity uses SC connectors for single-mode cable, and the opto-isolated design breaks ground loops that can damage equipment.

Distance And Protocol Limits

Maximum reach is 9.32 miles (15 km) on single-mode fibre; multimode cable is not supported. The converter handles only the three listed serial protocols and does not carry Ethernet or other data types. It complies with IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 for harsh industrial use.
