The Patton FOI-2983-ST is a 70V input isolator engineered for annunciator systems requiring isolated doorbell signaling or audio routing over fiber optic cables. This device integrates seamlessly with existing 70V audio infrastructure, providing one contact closure for doorbell functions while ensuring signal isolation and reliability. Housed in a rugged military-style metal enclosure, the FOI-2983-ST delivers durability in industrial environments, supporting multimode fiber with ST connectors for TX-only transmission. The isolator is part of the FOI-2980 Series, which specializes in 2-channel line-level audio with doorbell input over fiber, making it ideal for applications where secure, isolated connections are critical. Power options are sold separately, allowing flexibility in power supply selection to match system requirements. Compatible with standard 70V audio systems, the FOI-2983-ST simplifies integration into existing setups while providing a dependable solution for doorbell signaling and audio routing. The device supports multimode fiber with 62.5/125 micron cable optimized for 850nm wavelength, offering a transmission range up to 1.25 miles (2.01 km) with a 12dB power budget. Designed for industrial and commercial applications, the FOI-2983-ST ensures reliable performance in demanding conditions, with an operating temperature range of 32 to 122°F (0 to 50°C) and humidity tolerance up to 95% non-condensing. The compact dimensions of 3.0L x 1.8W x 0.8H inches (7.6L x 4.4W x 1.9H cm) and lightweight design of 2 oz. (57 g) make it easy to install in space-constrained environments.
