500V 500V 3 750V * For higher data rate, please contact Westermo. Description LD-63B The LD-63B is a line splitter for use in multi-drop fib e r optic networks. The LD-63B allows conversion between RS-422/485 and fib e r optic. LD-63B is specially developed for Manchester coded protocols with transmission rates over 500 kbit/s.
Power budget The LD-63B is developed for Manchester coded protocols and this means that the power budget will change with the number of preamble bits in the actual protocol. Preamble bits are sent before the actual data and has the function of synchronise units in the network (see figure below).
