Firecomms RedLink Transmitters and Receivers

RedLink® Transmitters and Receivers

Firecomms RedLink devices support data-rates from DC to 50 MBd and are fully compatible with Versatile Link connectors.

Supplier: Firecomms

Technology type: Digital

The RedLink transmitters use a visible red wavelength, are intrinsically eye safe, require low operating currents and are highly reliable therefore perfectly suited for automation, industrial control, communications, and in voltage isolation applications.

RedLink receivers are robust optical components converting red light back into electrical data by use of integrated pulse and distortion circuitry. As for transmitters, the receivers are also available as both inverting and non-inverting options.

 To allow installation into many different environments, the range of RedLink components are available in horizontal, vertical and a 30° tilted option.
