Fiberplex TD-5401, FOI-5401 User manual

  • Hello, I've reviewed the user manual for the FiberPlex Fiber Transceiver FOI-5401 and TD-5401. This document details the features, installation, and operational guidelines for these fiber optic communication devices. Notably, the manual highlights the difference in build between the FOI-5401 for military use and the TD-5401 for commercial settings. I am ready to help you with any questions you have about these devices.
  • What is the difference between the FOI-5401 and TD-5401?
    What data rates are supported?
    Can these devices be used in high electrical noise environments?
