Serial-to-Fiber
Converters for Hospital Laboratories
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 to
one network allows healthcare professionals to perform
tests and access patient data more easily for better service.
Fiber-optic communications has 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
instead of fiber-optic ports, serial-to-fiber converters
are essential. Moxa's TCF-90 and CP-102UF are perfectly
suited for providing medical instruments and computers
with direct fiber port connections. Moreover, the TCF-90
can be powered via the serial port so that an extra adaptor
is not required. The TCF-90 can also serve as the perfect
isolator for long distance communication.
