A Anonymous Jun 18, 2006 #2 Sure you can, there are many suppliers. If you're using serial Modbus RTU, for example, search on "fiber optic RS232". A couple of results are: http://www.telebyteusa.com/fiberoptics.htm http://www.rs485.com/pfiber.html If you're using Modbus TCP, try searching on "fiber optic ethernet". Again, a couple of results are: http://www.ramelectronics.net/html/fiber_hubs.html http://www.garrettcom.com/fiber_products.htm Some reference info: http://www.ethermanage.com/ethernet/10quickref/ch6qr_1.html The above are simply examples and have been neither tested nor endorsed by the author.
