American Fibertek MT0500P 20mA Current Loop Data Transreceiver, Multimode, Passive I/O

The American Fibertek 0500 Series is a low cost, low profile 20mA current loop data transceiver system. Data transmit and receive is accommodated on one multimode optical fiber. Designed to be completely transparent, this system requires no field adjustments at installation or additional maintenance thereafter.

I/O ports are selected by part number to be either active or passive. The units have internal jumpers to allow independent setting of active or passive input or output.

Transceivers may be ordered as stand alone modules or rack cards that are mounted in the American Fibertek Card Cages: SR-20/2 or SR-20R/1.
