Overview
Healthcare professionals in hospitals rely on a number of tests and medical equipment to treat patients. For example, blood and urine tests are routinely conducted to diagnose various illnesses and conditions. Sophisticated instruments are also used to scan and analyze a patient's body to provide a clear picture of the patient's condition for proper treatment. Connecting medical instruments spread across separate laboratories, examination rooms, and ICUs in one network allows healthcare professionals to run tests and access patient data more easily for better service.
Fiber-optic communications have become increasingly popular in hospitals and other large healthcare facilities to avoid unexpected interference, ensure zero data loss, and deploy long distance wiring. But since hospital equipment and computers are generally equipped with serial connections and instead of fiber-optic ports, serial-to-fiber converters are essential. Moxa's TCF-90 and CP-102UF are perfectly suited for such applications, providing medical instruments and computers with direct fiber port connections. Moreover, the TCF-90 can be powered via the serial port so no extra adaptor is required for operation. It can also serve as the perfect isolator for long distance communication.
