"Sure, it's a little far-fetched, but it would be entirely possible with our new wireless data converters," says Mike Fahrion, Marketing Manager for the Ottawa, Illinois company. Wireless data communication is just one area of expertise shown in the new 64-page full-color catalog/magazine. Case studies and how-to articles show applications of B&B Electronics dataline converters to provide extended range and multi-drop applications for traditional serial data. "USB, fiber optic, Ethernet, wireless and other protocols each offer different benefits in data communication. We tried to make this catalog almost a text book to help engineers and installers figure out the best methods to use and how to apply them," said Fahrion. The new B&B Electronics catalog is free.
