Description

The Moxa TCF-142-S-ST-T is an industrial RS-232/422/485 to single-mode fibre converter with an ST connector, built for wide-temperature environments from -40 to 75°C. It extends serial transmission up to 40 km over single-mode fibre and supports both ring and point-to-point fibre topologies, making it well suited to factory floors, utilities and transport sites where long cable runs and electrical noise are a concern.

The converter handles baudrates from 50 bps to 921.6 kbps, including non-standard rates, and offers automatic data direction control for RS-485. A metal IP30 housing, 12 to 48 VDC terminal block power input and wall mounting (DIN-rail optional) suit it to demanding industrial cabinets.
