Media Converter for Ethernet/Fast Ethernet and RS-232/422/485
For use in extremely demanding conditions our Media Converters include Ethernet (10Base-FL/10Base-T), Fast Ethernet (100Base-FX/100Base-TX), and RS-232/V.24, RS-422/V.11 and RS-485 copper/fibre optic converters are also available. A fixture integrated in the device enables direct mounting onto 35 mm DIN rails. The power supply of the converters is provided by an external 24 VDC power adapter. A second power supply can be connected to supply the devices redundantly. The Ethernet converters are equipped with a switch to change the assignment of the RJ-45 jack. Therefore, the 100Base-TX copper connection can be carried out via common 1:1 patch cables. In addition to the SUBD-9 connection, the serial converters also have parallel terminals for flexible bus installation. Floating contacts are another option. Messaging systems can be connected via special terminals in order to indicate connection failures and trigger certain actions. The fibre optic connector is located on the underside of the device. This ensures protection of the optical transceiver against dust and contamination.
