Provides local data distribution, ensuring data transmission integrity

FOM-5A is a miniature fiber optic modem used for local data distribution, connecting full or half duplex async computers and terminals. A pair of modems ensures integrity of data transmission over multimode fiber optic cables for distances up to 3 km (1.9 miles) at data rates up to 19.2 kbps.

The FOM-5A is a sub-miniature modem, offering all features in an especially compact size.

Innovative circuitry allows the modem to operate without external power, by drawing low power from the DTE data and control signals.

The FOM-5A asynchronous fiber optic modem has a V.24/RS-232 interface and is available with either a male or female integral 25-pin connector.
