FOX Communication Kit
Electronic Technician Assistant (ETA)

  BAPI recommends fiber optic cable for HVAC communications networks that travel between buildings. Fiber optic cable is not electrically conductive therefore it is not affected by electrical disturbances such as lightning strikes, radio transmitters or system ground variations.
  The FOX Communication Kit provides all the functions for one fiber optic and remote RS-485 network, plus it comes in a self-contained, easy-to-apply and cost effective assembly. The kit also aids in troubleshooting because LEDs indicate when power is applied and communications are present.
  The FOX Communications Kit includes:
  • One Fiber Optic Transceiver (FOX) module which converts RS-485 data to a fiber optic signal or converts a fiber optic signal to RS-485 data;
  • A 350 mA voltage converter (VC350) to provide the higher current necessary for flawless communications;
  • A Single Repeater Back Plane (SRBP) to mount the FOX module and provide pluggable connectors for power and three RS-485 cables;
  • A four inch long piece of 2.75" snaptrack to easily mount the entire assembly.
