Gravity: UART Fiber Optic Transceiver Module

Are you still making do with hard, thick shielded twisted pair wire for remote signal-transmitting, dropping the baud rate again and again just for transmission stability? Now get rid of these problems by using this Gravity: UART Fiber Optic Transceiver Module from DFRobot! With complete electrical isolation for preventing electromagnetic interference, this module runs at 2000000 baud at any time within a distance of up to 10km (absolute maximum, your mileage may vary depending on your setup). It features lightning protection and can share cable trunking with strong power. Also, users can use it with a passive optical splitter to realize one-to-many star networking. Two transceiver modules for only half the price of shielded twisted pair can provide users with long-distance & interference-free fiber-optic communication! Grab a compatible fiber jumper cable here!

Name Description

Gravity: UART UART interface, connect to MCU or sensor

PWR LED Power indicator, turns ON when powered on

SD LED Indicator for optical fiber disconnection, which lights up when the fiber optic disconnection is detected

TX LED Indicator for fiber optic transmitting, which blinks when transmitting signal

RX LED Indicator for fiber optic receiving, which blinks when receiving signal

SC Fiber Optic Interface Connect to SC fiber optic interface

The SD LED cannot show all the fiber disconnections or unstable transmissions. Please use a red pen, optical power meter and other tools to check errors when a connection problem occurs. Connection Example
