Firecomms' RedLink transmitters and receivers available in vertical package options

Firecomms Ltd of Cork, Ireland and Tongxiang, China, which manufactures fiber-optic solutions and optical transceivers for communications networks in power & energy, industrial, transportation, medical and consumer applications, has announced the availability of its full line of RedLink transmitters and receivers in vertical-style packages. In response to demand for versatility in the RedLink connection styles, the firm is now offering the complete product family in both horizontal and vertical packaging options.

Firecomms says that its RedLink industrial transmitters are frequently installed in large industrial enclosures where final cable assembly can be difficult when the products are horizontally aligned with the internal PCB. To provide flexibility for both the final installation on the factory floor and end-user maintenance, Firecomms has hence expanded its RedLink product range to include vertically aligned transmitters and receivers.

“RedLink products are frequently found in large-scale industrial equipment such as wind turbines, locomotive traction control units or grid-tied converters,” says Hugh Hennessy, VP of sales & marketing. “As manufacturers of these appliances appreciate any opportunity to reduce final assembly and maintenance cycle times, we are happy to respond to our customers' demands for this greater flexibility.”

Drop-in compatible with the Versatile Link range of products, the RedLink product line extends the Firecomms’ capabilities for high-speed plastic optical fiber (POF) transceivers and interface innovation into highly reliable industrial-grade optical transmitters and receivers. The RedLink product line includes DC-1Mb, DC-5Mb, DC-10Mb and DC-50Mb transmitters and receivers, all rated at the extended industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C for use in even the harshest industrial environments.

All vertical RedLink devices are now available for sampling through Firecomms' sales offices and distribution channels.
