The design allows the use of a range of Westermo verified SFP (Small Form Pluggable) transceivers which can provide solutions with, for example, only a single fibre or distances up to 120 km.<\/p>\n<p>Both multidrop networks and redundant rings can be formed using a mixture of transceiver types.<\/p>\n<p>This unit has been designed for industrial use where the requirement is for a long and reliable service life, in a harsh environment. To ensure this reliable operation we manufacture using the highest quality components.<\/p>\n<p>The ODW-720 draws on Westermo\u2019s many years of knowledge of serial protocols and can even transmit a second data channel if necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Large ring networks can be created to provide network resilience to guarantee system functionality, even if a cable is damaged. The ring recovery time ensures that the network devices are not aware of the failure. The fault contact provides a method to communicate network failures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1229\" src=\"https:\/\/www.throughput.co.za\/products\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/certs-4.png\" alt=\"Certification\" width=\"394\" height=\"113\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>NOTE<\/strong>:\u00a0 All products are pre-order items<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westermo.com\/products\/modems\/fibre-optic-modems\/odw-720-f2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Technical Specs &amp; Downloads<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ring \/ Multidrop Fibre Converter RS-232<br \/>\n1 xRS-232 port 300 bit\/s \u2013 250 kbit\/s<\/p>\n<p>The ODW-720-F2 has been designed to allow the use of fibre optic cables on RS-232 networks.
