Still make do with the hard and thick shielded twisted pair for remote signal-transmitting? And even drop the baud rate again and again just for transmission stability? Now get rid of these problems by using this Gravity: UART Fiber Optic Transceiver Module from DFRobot! With complete electrical isolation for preventing electromagnetic interference, this module runs at 2000000 baud at any time within a distance of up to 10km. Besides, it features lightning protection and can share cable trunking with strong power. Also, users can use it with a passive optical splitter to realize one-to-many star networking. Two transceiver modules for only half the price of shielded twisted pair can provide users with long-distance & interference-free fiber optic communication, good value for money!

Pinout
Name | Description |
---|---|
Gravity: UART | UART interface, connect to MCU or sensor |
PWR LED | Power indicator, turns ON when powered on |
SD LED | Indicator for optical fiber disconnection, which lights up when the fiber optic disconnection is detected |
TX LED | Indicator for fiber optic transmitting, which blinks when transmitting signal |
