Rogue currents garble messages and damage electronic conponents

Rogue data signals can be caused by a minor power surge in an electrical circuit or a nearby lightning strike. Eliminate rogue currents by inserting an optical isolator in your data line.

Optical isolation converts a voltage signal to an optical signal which passes through a fiber optic section before being converted back to a voltage signal. This process isolates voltage anomalies from the protected equipment.

Optical isolation is a requirement for commercial and industrial communications. Spikes and surges on data lines create havoc in industrial applications. If you get a surge at home or the office, you may have to reboot. An inconvenience. But that same surge in a computer-controlled industrial application can shut down an assembly line or an entire plant. That's a disaster! Adding a stand-alone isolator or an optically isolated converter from B&B Electronics stops damaging spikes and surges in their tracks.
