I-2533

Introduction
The I-2533CS-FD-UL / I-2533T-FD-UL Series is designed to bridge CAN/CAN FD networks over optical fiber. Used in pairs, these modules extend communication distances, provide immunity to electromagnetic interference, and ensure stable long-distance data transmission.
 
Key Highlights
  • UL Certified: Meets stringent safety requirements for fire resistance, electric shock protection, and durability.
  • Harsh-Environment Ready (UTA Models): Features conformal-coated PCBs for enhanced protection against moisture and salt spray, making them suitable for coastal and high-humidity environments.
  • High-Performance Conversion: Seamlessly converts CAN/CAN FD signals to optical signals and back without data loss.
 
Features
  • Protocol Support: Complies with ISO 11898-2 and supports CAN 2.0A/2.0B and CAN FD (ISO and Non-ISO/Bosch).
  • Flexible Baud Rate Settings:
    • CAN FD (Data Phase): 100 kbps to 10,000 kbps (10 Mbps)
    • CAN: 10 kbps to 1,000 kbps (1 Mbps)
  • Fiber Break Detection: Provides real-time monitoring of the fiber link status.
  • Smart Traffic Control: Supports CAN message filtering and simple message routing via the "Group ID" parameter.
  • Easy Maintenance: DIP switches allow quick baud rate configuration and enable or disable the 120 Ω termination resistor; a USB port supports firmware updates.
Model Comparison Table:
Model Fiber Type Max. Fiber Distance (km) Operating Temperature
I-2533CS-FD-UL Single-mode 30 -25 ~ +70 °C
I-2533CS-FD-UL-UTA -40 ~ +70 °C
I-2533T-FD-UL Multi-mode 2 -25 ~ +70 °C
I-2533T-FD-UL-UTA -40 ~ +70 °C
I-2533CS-FD-60 Single-mode 60 -25 ~ +75 °C
I-2533CS-FD-60-UL -25 ~ +70 °C
I-2533CS-FD-60-UL-UTA -40 ~ +70 °C
Note: The UTA version features a conformal-coated PCB that provides enhanced protection against moisture, dust, and corrosion, making it particularly suitable for high-humidity and high-salinity environments such as coastal areas, marine applications, and water treatment facilities. Even when the device is installed in a waterproof enclosure, the conformal-coated version is still recommended for additional protection.
