Fibre TX/RX Unit
Introduction
The Trusted
TM
Fibre TX/RX Unit T8314 is designed to extend the Trusted
TM
Expander Bus over
distances of up to 10km. This enables a Trusted
T
M
Expander Chassis to be located remotely from the
Trusted
TM
system.
Note: It is recommended that if a remote Expander Chassis is to be located more than 2km from the
Controller Chassis, the route of the cable is surveyed.
The Expander Bus is extended by means of a communications link using a single mode fibre-optic
cable. The Trusted
T
M
Fibre TX/RX Unit converts the differential signals of the copper-based Expander
Bus to a fibre-optic signal for transmission via the single mode cable. Three totally independent pairs
of Trusted
TM
Fibre TX/RX Units provide a non-interfering ‘Grey Channel’ approach to safety.
