Link Adapters AL002-(P)E and AL004-(P)E can be used to insert optical links
between PC Link Units to extend transmission distance and provide superior re-
sistance to noise. Optical links connect only Link Adapters; they do not directly
connect to the PC Link Units themselves. In the diagram below, the straight lines
represent wire cables and the jagged lines represent optical fiber cables.
