GarrettCom 5941 and 5942 Data Links are designed as full duplex four channel devices. Four channels have bandwidth of DC to 64k bps (D4 version), and on the (D1 version) three of the channels have bandwidth of DC to 4k bps. Used in point-to-point RS-232 application, 5941 and 5942 Data Links are designed to pass handshaking or flow control signals along with data.

These links do not utilize the flow signals for their operation. Like all GarrettCom digital-to-fibre optic products, they are passive to all software protocols, and simply send the communications signals from one node to the other.

- Sending four RS-232 non-handshaking signals together on a single pair of fibres (provided at least three of the signals are at 4000 baud or slower for the D1 version).
- Interfacing RTUs to radios that require push-to talk control Passing up four contacts bi-directionally or KYZ meter contacts.
- Transmitting data and IRIG-B timing signals with a single Link. 1 or 2 Synchronous data ports (D4 model only). 5941 and 5942 Data Links feature a power-on light, a “SYNC” LED, and eight diagnostic LEDs.


In most applications, one pair of 5940 links will replace 8 standard links and 3 fibre pairs lowering capital and installation costs.
