Applications
Typical applications include linking remote terminals or printers to host computers, tail circuits to existing multiplexers and extending data communications links. Fiber optic modems are also ideal for connecting data communications devices in harsh manufacturing or outdoor environments where EMI or RFI interference, ground loops and lightning are prevalent.

Description
Pocket Rocket modems are designed for local and campus networks up to distances of approximately 5 km multimode and 30 km single mode. Distances can vary depending on the size and type of fiber optic cable, number of connections and type of fiber optic connectivity device(s) used in a given network.

The LT1100 is low in price and high in reliability. It is plug compatible with RS-232 interfaces and will transmit asynchronous data at speeds up to 19.2 Kbps. It supports both single mode (1300/1550nm) and multimode (850/1300nm) formats. Fiber optic connectors are ST or FC.

Electrical connectors are DB25 female. It is DCE/DTE switchable. For most applications, the LT1100 derives power though any of the standard EIA control signals (pins 4, 8, 20) or positive voltage line (pin 9). An external power supply (115/230VAC) may be required when signal power is not adequate to drive the LT1100.
