This project is being developed as a side project to enable me to debug a piece of industrial control hardware that uses serial-over-fibre communications.

The schematic capture and PCB design for this project has been done using DipTrace. The 3D models used for the HFBR-1414 & HFBR-2414 fibre optic transmitter and receiver are of my own creation, the rest are stock DipTrace 3.0 models. The 3D model is not intended to be a highly accurate representation, but a guide.

The transmitter receiver pair were chosen based upon the requirement to be able to interface with OM1 (62.5/125um) or OM2 (50/125), terminated with ST type connectors. This is fairly standard for use with industrial control, the intended application of this board.

First images of rev. 1 PCB uploaded. I intend to upload a schematic shortly.
