The GCAN-208 optical fiber to CAN converter can convert CAN bus signals to optical signal. The conversion time between CAN data and optical signals is microsecond, ensuring the real-time communication. The GCAN-208 supports any CAN bus communication protocol such as CANopen, SAE J1939, DeviceNet, NMEA2000, etc.
It can be used for extending CAN bus communication distance, eliminating long-distance communication interference, and preventing the bus from being damaged.

Functions
1. Point-to-point connection: Using a pair of GCAN-206 optical fiber to CAN converter to realize CAN bus data long-distance transmission.
2. Hand in hand connection (cascade): Using two-channel optical fiber to CAN module can connect the CAN bus network in many places together, and transmit CAN data to each node on the network through the optical fiber.
