The
maximum optical loss for 1km of perfluorinated fiber using
this source is less than 2.4dB[1]. And the IF-E96 supports
high speeds up to 5Mbps because low transition delays.
Hence it can support the maximum possible bit rate of
RS232. The plastic connector in built with IF-E96 will
satisfactorily couple -7dB optical power to fiber with
minimum coupling loss.
