Optical-electrical converter I-2533CS-60

communicationsfiber opticsCAN Bus

Overview
The I-2533CS-60 is a local CAN-to-fiber-optic bridge that converts electrical CAN bus signals to single-mode fiber transmission. It provides galvanic isolation and extends the physical separation between CAN segments, enabling reliable interconnection of two CAN networks over long distances while allowing differing CAN baud rates on each side.

Key points

• Extends CAN bus reach up to 60 km over single-mode SC fiber regardless of CAN baud rate.
• Galvanic isolation prevents bus errors on one network from affecting the other.
• Supports inter-network communication when CAN segments operate at different baud rates for flexible integration.

Features

• SC connector, single-mode fiber, 100Base-FX fiber interface.
• Maximum fiber transmission distance: up to 60 km.
• CAN transceiver: NXP TJA1042; supports CAN 2.0A and CAN 2.0B.
• 2500 Vrms isolation on the CAN side.
• Rotary switch for CAN baud rate selection and support for user-defined rates.
• Built-in switchable 120 Ω termination resistor.
• Fiber break detection and diagnostic indicators.
• Utility tool available for CAN message filter configuration.
• Removable terminal block for easy DIN-rail mounting.
• CAN ports with the same Group ID can communicate with each other.
