Overview
- The Alloy SCR460SC-4 is a professional-grade serial to fibre converter that extends RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 serial communications over singlemode fibre to distances of 20km. This eliminates distance limitations of traditional copper serial cables while providing superior noise immunity and isolation in electrically noisy industrial environments.
The converter supports triple-mode operation, automatically detecting and adapting to RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 protocols without manual configuration. With automatic baud rate detection up to 460.8kbps and direction control functions, it delivers plug-and-play compatibility with existing serial devices including terminals, industrial controllers, and data acquisition systems.
Designed for both standalone deployment and integration into Alloy's DCR12 series chassis systems, the SCR460SC-4 offers flexible installation options for distributed networks. The rugged all-metal enclosure and high EMI/EMS immunity make it suitable for manufacturing facilities, utility networks, and remote monitoring applications where reliability is non-negotiable.
Three-year manufacturer warranty and proven Alloy engineering ensure long-term performance in mission-critical serial communications infrastructure.
