Firecomms Ltd of Cork, Ireland and Tongxiang, China, is to showcase its complete line of rugged industrial fiber optic transmitters and receivers at PCIM Europe 2013 in Nuremberg, Germany (14-16 May). The line includes RedLink, the firm’s newest range of rugged industrial fiber optic transmitters and receivers for controlling high-power or high-voltage semiconductors, such as IGBTs, Thyristors or MOSFETs used in frequency converters, power converters/inverters or traction control applications.
Designed to be drop-in compatible with the Versatile Link range of components from Avago Technologies, Firecomms’ RedLink devices offer improvements including enhanced EMI immunity, lower power consumption, and other performance enhancing features, says the firm.
Visitors to PCIM will see a preview of Firecomms’ new 530nm-based RedLink transmitters, which promise extended transmission distances compared to current solutions due to the lower attenuation characteristics of Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) at 530nm over traditional 650/660nm wavelengths.
Firecomms will showcase its solutions for power applications at PCIM on the MEV Elektronik stand, Hall 9 Stand 260.
