The need for extending a bus via a fiber optic cable is born frequently from the necessity to test for radiated immunity an on-board unit appended to a bus. The ancillary test equipment or development system is located in the control room at a distance from the equipment under test. The connection must be necessarily optical. An extender is formed by a pair of transceivers (OBE = Optical Bus Extender) with the fiber cable in between.
