Overview

The Yokogawa LS38-C3S-TI-N-GD Fiber Optic Transceiver Module is a high-performance module designed for long-distance data transmission in industrial automation systems. Built in a compact SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) form factor, it integrates seamlessly into network switches, controllers, and communication modules.

Operating at a 1310 nm wavelength, the module supports single-mode fiber connections with a transmission distance of up to 10 kilometers, making it an ideal choice for large-scale distributed control systems (DCS) in facilities that require reliable, long-range communication. The data rate of 1.25 Gbps ensures fast and stable transmission, crucial for real-time control and monitoring applications.

Its rugged design and wide operating temperature range make it particularly suited for harsh industrial environments such as power plants, chemical processing units, and offshore platforms. The LS38-C3S-TI-N-GD is an essential solution for engineers looking for high-speed, long-range fiber optic connectivity in demanding industrial sectors.

Technical Data

Typical Applications

• Distributed Control Systems (DCS): Enables high-speed communication between controllers and remote I/O stations across large facilities.

• Industrial Ethernet Networks: Supports backbone connectivity in automation and SCADA systems, ensuring seamless data flow.

• Power Generation Facilities: Facilitates real-time data exchange between turbine halls, substations, and central control systems.

• Chemical and Petrochemical Plants: Ensures stable communication in high-temperature and corrosive environments.

• Offshore Platforms: Provides long-range, high-reliability fiber connectivity for remote and vibration-prone installations.

For example, in a refinery, the LS38-C3S-TI-N-GD can link control cabinets across multiple process units, ensuring fast, interference-free data transmission. The SFP form factor also makes it easy to replace or upgrade without requiring system downtime.
