Media Converters

The media converter is one of the most basic yet essential components for creating a bridge between different types of network media. It is the component that allows systems based on Ethernet to communicate over other types of cabling, such as fiber optic, coaxial, or twisted-pair cables. In industrial applications, media converters are the workhorses driving reliable data transmission across vast distances. Many industrial media converters are available in "managed" models, meaning that they have a number of diagnostic and troubleshooting features that can be used to maintain the health of the network.

The devices that make up this family can accommodate various kinds of cabling, including single-mode and multi-mode fiber, and support data rates up to gigabit Ethernet speeds, which means they're as suitable as anything for high-speed networking in places like manufacturing plants or remote command-and-control centers. Some of these converters are even good options when space is tight. And with the flexibility to handle both copper and fiber connections, they're a good way to make a seamless transition between the two types of media.

Moxa TCF-90-S-ST
$452.60 $540.40
Moxa Port-powered RS-232 to Multi-mode optical fiber converter with ST connector for 5 km transmission. Compact media converter that transmits RS-232 signals over optical fiber. Power is derived from either the serial port or an external power source. A pair of TCF-90 converters can be used to connect two RS-232 devices with optical fiber in full duplex mode. The optical fiber isolates the data signals from dangerous increases in ground potential, ground loops, and electrical EMI-RFI noise, and enhances data security by eliminating the harmful effects of RF radiation and susceptibility to electromagnetic radiation.
