RS-232/422/485 to Fiber Optic Media Converter with SC Connector

Enhance the reliability and distance of your industrial serial communications with this robust RS-232/422/485 to multi-mode optical fiber media converter. Designed for demanding applications, this converter supports fiber ring and point-to-point transmission over single-mode or multi-mode fiber, making it ideal for factory automation, energy, and transportation systems. Experience interference-free communication with transmission distances of up to 40 km and exceptional data integrity.

Key Features

  • Supports RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 signal types for versatile serial device connectivity
  • Fiber ring and point-to-point transmission modes ensure flexible network deployment
  • Extend transmission up to 40 km with single-mode fiber (TCF-142-S) or 5 km with multi-mode fiber (TCF-142-M)
  • Supports high-speed serial data rates up to 921.6 kbps for fast and reliable data transfer
  • Reduces signal degradation and electromagnetic interference for stable long-distance communication
  • SC fiber connector ensures secure and standard fiber optic connections
  • Durable industrial design protects against electrical interference and chemical corrosion
  • Standard model operates from 0 to 60°C; wide-temperature models available for extreme environments (-40 to 75°C)

Reliable Serial-to-Fiber Connectivity for Industrial Applications

Whether you need to extend your RS-232/422/485 signals across long distances or protect critical communication lines from electrical noise and environmental hazards, this fiber optic media converter delivers high performance in even the harshest conditions. Ideal for SC fiber network setups, it’s the perfect solution for industrial network engineers and system integrators seeking stable, long-range serial communication over optical fiber.
