The equipment VDX-TS-FIBRACANBUS-V5 consists of an intelligent router-media converter between CANBUS copper and multimode fiber optic. It is equipped with the most advanced control electronics to allow high speed data flows in industrial environment. Converting a CANBUS communications signal from cable to fiber optic gives us many advantages such as noise immunity and fiber length independence. In addition, the equipment has configurations for independent speed for each of the electrical and optical interfaces.

The VDX-TS-FIBRACANBUS-V5 is made of ABS plastic with great robustness and has a DIN rail connection on the back.
