Single Channel Fiber Optic Modems (FOMs)

The single channel Fiber Optic Modem (FOM) is currently available in four standards based communications interfaces: standard NRZ, conditioned diphase, DS3, MD1272 / G and IP (internet protocol). These modems transmit up to 60 km without a repeater depending on model. The single channel FOMs are designed to mount on the Signal Entry Panel (SEP) of the tactical communication shelters or they can be installed in a rack mount panel. FOMs are available with various tactical fiber optic connectors, including TFOCA, TFOCA-II® and expanded beam.
