FTT-10A Free Topology Twisted-Pair Transceiver

Not Recommended for new designs. We recommend the FT 5000 Smart Transceiver for all new designs.

A highly successful FT transceiver with integrated transformer!

The FTT-10A Free Topology Twisted Pair Transceiver provides a simple, cost-effective method of adding a LonWorks transceiver to any Neuron® Chip-based control system. A replacement for the popular FTT-10 transceiver, the FTT-10A transceiver supports polarity insensitive, free topology wiring, freeing the system installer from the need to wire using a bus topology. Star, bus, and loop wiring are all supported by this architecture. Free topology wiring reduces the time and expense of system installation by allowing the wiring to be installed in the most expeditious manner. It also simplifies network expansion by eliminating restrictions on wire routing, splicing, and node placement.

The FTT-10A transceiver is compatible with our LPT-11 Link Power Transceiver; these transceivers can communicate with each other on a single twisted-pair cable. This offers an inexpensive way to interface to devices whose current or voltage requirements would otherwise exceed the capacity of the link power segment. When equipped with an FTT-10A transceiver, these devices can be operated from a local power supply without additional electrical isolation from the link power network. The FTT-10A transceiver can communicate with LPT-11 and FTT-10 transceivers and TP/FT control modules for applications using all of these devices.
