Compulab FACE Module FM-OPLN – Optical LAN (SFP) Expansion for fitlet® Systems

The Compulab FM-OPLN FACE Module adds fiber-optic network connectivity via SFP to compatible fitlet® industrial PCs, enabling high-speed and long-distance communication in electrically noisy or mission-critical environments.

By integrating directly into the system’s FACE slot, the module becomes part of the compact, fanless platform without the need for external converters or additional cabling. This preserves the mechanical robustness and simplifies deployment – a key requirement in industrial automation, smart infrastructure, and transportation solutions.

With support for SFP-based optical links, the FM-OPLN allows fitlet® systems to operate reliably across extended distances, between buildings, or in environments where traditional copper Ethernet is limited by electromagnetic interference. Fiber connectivity also improves network security and stability in edge installations where uptime is essential.

The module is fully supported in both Linux and Windows IoT environments, making it suitable for centralized management, secure data transmission, and long lifecycle industrial deployments.
