TCF-142-M-SC-RM MOXA Module Fiber Converters

Features and Benefits

• Extend RS-232/422/485 transmission up to: 40 km with single-mode, 5 km with multi-mode
• 1K or 150K ohm adjustable pull high/low resistor
• “Ring” and “Point-to-Point” transmission supported

Introduction

The TCF-142-RM series of serial-to-fiber converters are slide-in modules that work with the TRC-190 chassis. The modules convert from the RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 signal to a fiber optic signal. The TCF-142-RM series can automatically detect the serial baudrate. This is an extremely convenient feature. Even if a device’s baudrate is changed, the signal will still be transmitted through the media converter without any problem.
