Jul 22, 2011 1 Replies

Hi, I want to implement application using CAN bus over Optical physical layer. I do not have any idea about its feasibility. Is it possible?



can i use TORX713 and TOTX173 for this?



will it work as if Normal CAN bus over wire?

CAN over optics is a standard option.

Why not.

See Vector CanCab *.fiber adaptors for example.
