AFL-300 DIGITAL FIBER OPTIC LINK

Actual Size: 61 x 61 x 28mm (box only)
Price starting from $649.- per pair (Transmitter and receiver units), basic TTL configuration, Multi-Mode.

When you need:
  To transfer a trigger signal from a noisy environment,
  To isolate the signal from high voltage sources,
   Eliminate ground loops,
   Transfer precise timing signals over a long distance,
   Have excellent system reliability,
The AFL-300 Digital is the answer.

The AFL-300 digital is an excellent solution for transmission of precise timing signal over optical fibers. Those signals can be triggering signals, synchronisation signals, GPS timing signals and any other TTL compatible signals (0 to 5V or 0 to 12V).

The input to the AFL-300 is a logic input, 0 to 5V or 0 to 3.3V (0 to 12V per request).

The signal is transferred over the optical fiber with minimum latency and almost zero jitter.
The signal is reconstructed on the receiver and can be output as a TTL signal (0 to 5V), 0 - 12V signal or open collector (up to 30V external voltage).

The AFL-300 consists of the following components:
  A Digital Fiber Optic Transmitter - AFL-300 DIG/TX,
  A Digital Fiber Optic Receiver - AFL-300 DIG/RX,
  Up to 3 km of of Multi-mode glass fiber or 50 Km of Single-mode fiber (optional).
Optical budget with Single Mode transceivers: 28 dB.

The link is connected between the signal source at the transmitter and the signal output at the receiver.

Features
  Transmit precise timing signals over optical fiber.
  Prevents ground loops and computer noise effects .
  Transfers analog signals to distances of up to 3 Km (50Km with Single Mode transceivers)
  Excellent signal isolation.
  Short propagation delay - 200 nSec + 5 uSec/Km.
  High Frequency bandwidth: DC to 5 MHz.
  Very small size: only 61 x 61 x 28 mm
  Low cost: $649.- per pair (Rx + Tx).

Ordering Information
  The AFL-300 Digital is available with Single-Mode optics or Multi-Mode optics
  Input range is TTL (0-3V or 0-5V). Output range can be adjusted by user (0 to 5V, 12V or Open Collector).
  A stabilized power supply is also required for each side. It can supply power for up to 5 (optionally 10) receivers or transmitters.

EXAMPLE:
TRANSMITTER / RECEIVER PAIR:
AFL-300 DIG- - S - R
Where:.
  SM = Single Mode (MM =Multi-Mode optics is the standard ).
 R = Range in meter
Optical Splitters are availabler in different splitting ratios. Please consult the factory for your system design.
