GEN II Fiber Optic BriDGe for EMC Chamber Test Engineers

Isolate vehicle network signals from electromagnetic interference and test with confidence inside any electromagnetic compatibility chamber. The GEN II Fiber Optic BriDGe transmits CAN, CAN FD and LIN data over fiber instead of copper, eliminating the noise that corrupts in-chamber readings. Engineers can validate radiated emissions, bulk current injection and radiated susceptibility against automotive EMC standards, without re-running a test because the cable itself introduced interference. Available as a standalone CAN bridge or a combined LIN/CAN kit, it’s built to withstand a full test session on 12 hours of battery power, no cord required.

LIN/CAN Combo Fiber Optics

DG-GENII-LIN/CAN-KIT

$6995.00

Interchangeable CAN/LIN fiber optic bridge and satellite modules for electromagnetic chamber testing. Also includes:

Isolates LIN and CAN in a single kit
LIN support up to 20K bps
Same EMC isolation as the CAN-only bridge
1-year limited warranty on the device. Warranty details

LIN/CAN-Fiber Optics

Some test setups are more than just CAN, they’re mixed networks – and switching bridges mid-test wastes chamber time you can’t get back.

The LIN/CAN Combo Fiber Optics kit covers both protocols in a single unit so you can isolate and test LIN and CAN signals together without swapping hardware between test runs. It’s the same fiber optic isolation principle as DG’s CAN-only bridge, extended to cover the mixed-protocol networks modern vehicles actually run.

Combined LIN (Version 2.X up to 20K bps) and CAN isolation in one kit
Test mixed networks without swapping tools
Same EMC isolation plus LIN protocol support
Optional external battery for LIN bus voltage reference. Useful when the vehicle supply is not available
Same CAN FD, high-speed CAN and single-wire CAN isolation as the standalone bridge. Nothing given up for the added protocol
Meets or exceeds automotive EMC specs across radiated emissions, bulk current injection and radiated susceptibility

30-day returns on hardware (20% restocking fee). Return details

CAN-Fiber Optic Bridge

DG-GENII-FO-KIT

$5995.00

CAN fiber optic bridge and satellite modules for electromagnetic chamber testing. Also includes:

Isolated, non-electrical interface built specifically for EMC environment testing
12-hour rechargeable battery
Quick start guide and carry case
1-year limited warranty on the device. Warranty details

CAN-Fiber Optic Bridge

When your test bench sits inside an EMC chamber, the cable itself becomes a liability – copper carries interference right along with your signal. The Gen II CAN-Fiber Optic Bridge solves that by translating your CAN network signal into fiber optic and back, giving you a fully isolated, non-electrical interface between your device under test and your data collection equipment.

Built to meet or exceed automotive EMC testing specs across radiated emissions, bulk current injection and radiated susceptibility with a setup that only needs two fibers between bridge and satellite module.
Combined LIN (Version 2.X, up to 20K bps) and CAN isolation in a single kit
Optional external battery for LIN bus voltage reference, useful when the vehicle supply isn’t available
Compatible with all CAN protocols (HS, LS, SW, CAN FD)
Same CAN FD, high-speed CAN and single-wire CAN isolation as the standalone bridge. Nothing given up for the added protocol
Quick and easy setup with user-friendly controls
