MOXA TCF-142-S-SC Industrial Grade Serial-to-Fiber Converter

Introduction

MOXA TCF-142-S-SC media converters support multiple interfaces, including RS-232, RS-422/485, and multi-mode/single-mode fiber. The MOXA TCF-142-S-SC converters can extend serial transmission up to 5 km (TCF-142-M with multi-mode fiber) or 40 km (TCF-142-S with single-mode fiber). MOXA TCF-142-S-SC converters can convert either RS-232 or RS-422/485 signals, but not both simultaneously.

Features and Benefits

• Supports RS-232/422/485 transmission up to 40 km with single-mode (TCF-142-S) or 5 km with multi-mode (TCF-142-M).

• Reduces signal interference

•Protects against electrical interference and corrosion

•Supports baudrates of up to 921.6 kbps
