The Siemens ESCON/SBCON optical device, along with the ESCON/SBCON optical duplex connector, is best suited for
high speed fiber optic duplex transmission systems operating at a wavelength of 1300 nm. The system is fully compatible with the IBM ESCON standard and the ANSI SBCON standard.
The ESCON parallel transceiver includes a transmitter, a receiver,a clock recovery function and serial/parallel interfaces. It is designed for data rates of up to 300 MBaud. A non-dissipative plastic receptacle matches the ESCON duplex connector.
The inputs/outputs are TTL compatible and the unit operates from a single power supply of 4.5 V to 5.5 V.
The optical interfaces of the transmitter and receiver have standard 0.7" spacing. Receptacle and connector have been keyed to prevent reverse insertion of the connector into the receptacle.After proper insertion, the connector is securely held by a snap-in lock mechanism.
The transmitter converts parallel electrical TTL input signals into an optical serial signal at data rates of between 100 and 300 MBaud. The receiver performs clock recovery on the incoming data stream and converts data into parallel output.
