Industrial Opto-Isolated Converter

The Black Box Innovations ICD116A is an industrial opto-isolated serial-to-fiber converter designed for secure long-distance data links. It uses single-mode optical fiber with an SC connector to extend serial signals up to 9.32 Mile. The unit is rail-mountable and built in the United States.

Suited for noisy industrial sites

This converter suits engineers who need galvanic isolation and noise immunity on serial links across factory floors or outdoor infrastructure. It is not for installers who require copper RJ-45 Ethernet ports, DVI video, USB connectivity or a management port.

Check power and mounting

Verify that your cabinet provides a compatible DC supply and DIN-rail space matching the 1.3 by 3.7 by 5.2 inch footprint. Confirm the link budget matches single-mode fiber distances and that SC patch cables are available for termination.

Questions about this item

What existing fiber infrastructure is required to use the ICD116A's single-mode SC port?

The ICD116A connects to a single-mode fiber network using its SC connector, supporting links up to 9.32 miles.

Can the ICD116A's rail-mountable form factor fit inside the same enclosure as legacy serial equipment?

The ICD116A measures 1.3 inches high, 3.7 inches wide, and 5.2 inches deep, allowing it to mount on standard DIN rails alongside existing serial gear.

How do I verify the ICD116A is converting data correctly after installation?

Observe the ICD116A's status indicators; a solid link light on the SC port confirms the fiber connection is active and passing traffic.
