optoCAN-LS, Fiber-optic, Automotive Link for CAN Signals, 125 kbit/s

The optoCAN-LS system is a reliable solution for bidirectional optical transmission of CAN signals, supporting data rates of up to 125kbit/s. Designed to excel in challenging EMI and EME test environments, this system features optical signal transmission and a durable shielded enclosure, ensuring robust performance and signal integrity.

Key Features and Benefits

1. High-Performance Transmission:

   • Enables optical transmission of CAN signals with rates up to 125kbit/s.
   • Ideal for applications requiring minimal interference and precise data handling.

2. Portable and Flexible Design:

   • Comprised of two identical, battery-powered transceivers connected via optical fiber.
   • Portable and easy to deploy for versatile testing scenarios.

3. Optional 19" Rack Integration:

   • One transceiver can be optionally integrated into a 19" rack housing.
   • Ideal for permanent setups, reducing error sources, shortening setup time, and minimizing tabletop space usage.

4. Scalable Channel Capacity:

   • The 19" rack housing supports up to eight automotive communication links, including SENT, CAN, FlexRay, and more.
   • Channels can be added incrementally, offering flexibility for future expansion.

The optoCAN-LS system provides a robust, scalable, and efficient solution for precise CAN signal testing, making it an essential tool for EMI and EME testing environments.
