Overview

The Patton FOI-2981-ST Isolator is engineered to provide robust signal isolation for annunciator inputs, facilitating the transmission of two channels of line-level audio alongside a single contact closure input dedicated to doorbell functionality. This device leverages multimode ST optics for its optical transmission capabilities, specifically supporting TX-only operation. The FOI-2981-ST is designed to ensure reliable signal integrity within industrial and commercial annunciator systems, offering a secure and noise-resistant method for audio distribution, particularly in environments where electromagnetic interference is a concern. The inclusion of a contact closure input for doorbell functions makes it a versatile component for applications requiring the integration of audio signals with trigger events. Power options for the FOI-2981-ST are available separately, providing users with the flexibility to select the most suitable power supply for their specific installation requirements. This isolator is designed for compatibility with Patton’s existing FOI-2980 Series, enabling seamless integration into established audio over fiber networks. The device's construction is intended to withstand demanding operational conditions, ensuring durability and long-term performance. The multimode ST optical interface is chosen for its ability to support high-speed, low-loss data transmission over fiber optic cabling. Consequently, the FOI-2981-ST presents a dependable and scalable solution for applications such as security systems, industrial monitoring, and public address systems, where both audio isolation and the integration of doorbell triggers are essential requirements.
