The S.I. Tech Model 2016 is a 16-channel asynchronous time division multiplexer for fiber optic data transmission, designed for in-house clustered terminal applications. It provides 16 full-duplex RS-232-C ports, each capable of 19.2 kbps, with an aggregate bandwidth of 320 kbps. The device transmits over fiber optic cable at 820 nm wavelength with 10 μW optical power and 1 μW receiver sensitivity, supporting distances up to 6600 feet (2 km) using multimode fiber, with a 5 km option for single-mode fiber. It features digital and analog loopback testing, status indicators per channel, and operates from 105 to 130 VAC at 60 Hz. The metal enclosure measures 17.25 × 10 × 4.125 inches (43.8 × 25.4 × 10.5 cm) and is rack-mountable. It is UL and CSA listed and meets FCC Class A, Part 15 requirements.
S.I Tech Model 2016 Bit-Driver multiplexer is ideal for in-house data transmission where you have clustered terminal situations. It delivers 16 full duplex ports capable of moving up to 19.2 Kbps in asynchronous mode, without using flow control or buffering techniques, resulting in absolute minimum throughput delay. Aggregate speed is 320 Kbps. Each port on the multiplexer is fully independent. Model 2016 is a sixteen channel communications system, providing 16 Bit-Driver links using one optical cable interface. Fiber optic cable offers complete immunity to EMI/RFI interference problems for secure data transmission in noisy environments. Status indicators show the activity of each channel and the integrity of the link. If a problem develops, you can select a digital loopback for any channel at both ends of the link without interrupting the data flow on the other fifteen channels. If transmission line problems are suspected, an analog loopback can be selected and the cable will be included in the test loop. Operating distance is 6600 feet (2 Km), 5 Km option.
