Well,

seems that the patch is only working under Windows.

Those who are using a MacOSX - Version are out of luck. Today I tested a lot of patches (even trying to edit the files manually). With version 2.32 the picc18 execution fails with errorcode 9 (process halted).

I tested the patch under Windows - everything is fine, that one works. Unfortunately the Mac (or OSX) version is broken.

Just for reference, the insertion loss (IL) of the 1mm PMMA POF is 0.19 dB/m and the SMF28 (glass) Fiber has an IL of 0.18 dB/km. That is 1000 times lower!

If you can use ethernet I recommend a media converter. They are very cheap theses days.
In Europe you can buy them from FS.com (Germany warehouse):

The SFPs are very cheap, starting from 8€ each inc. VAT, and the fiber patch cords are also cheap.

Hello DreamCat,

for more transmission distance You should switch to real fiber.
TOS-Link uses cables made of plastic material and no glass.
They are limited to short ranges.
As a reference i have used "Agilent HFBR-0400" some years ago.
Modern fiber cables use LC-connectors now.
With a multimode cable You can achieve around 500 m.
With singlemode cables this is extended to far more.


Best Regards

That series is still made. But not by Agilent. They are made by Broadcom/Avago. I have used the HFBR series with ST connector. Worked well and plug and play. Mouser has many variants in the HFBR series

You can also get quite cheap Fiber Nic Card. Maybe it would be smarter to get some of those
