Media Conversion Solutions Total Solution for Industrial Device Networking TCF-142 Series RS-232/422/485 to Fiber Converter Features • Extends RS-232/422/485 transmission distance: * Up to 20 km with Single mode—TCF-142-S * Up to 2 km with Multi mode—TCF-142-M • Converts RS-232/422/485 signal: * To ST Single-mode fiber with TCF-142-S * To ST Multi-mode fiber with TCF-142-M • Plug & Play • Compact size • Decreases signal interference • Protects against electronic degradation/chemical corrosion • Supports baud rate up to 230.4 Kbps Introduction The TCF-142 Series converter is equipped with a multiple up to 2 km (TCF-142-M multi-mode fiber) or up to 20 km interface circuit that can handle RS-232, or RS-422/485 serial (TCF-142-S single-mode fiber). Note that the RS-232 and RS- interfaces and multi-mode or single-mode fiber. TCF-142 422/485 interfaces cannot be used on the same TCF-142 at converters are used to extend serial transmission distance the same time to convert to fiber. Auto Baud Rate Detection TCF-142 Series incorporates a method for automatically baud rate is changed, the signal will still be transmitted detecting the serial signal baud rate by hardware. This is an through the RS-232 or RS-422/485 to fiber converter without extremely convenient feature for the user. Even if a device’s any problem. Isolation Protection MOXA electrical Isolation technology uses two photo signal on the other side. In this way, the two electrical circuits couplers to create a gap in each electrical signal. One photo are completely isolated from each other, limiting the damage coupler transforms the electrical signal into a light signal, that could otherwise be caused by power surges in the which is transmitted across a small gap, and then the other electrical signal. photo coupler transforms the light back into an electrical Automatic Data Direction Control (ADDC™) ADDC™ technology, a hardware data flow solution, to ADDC™ is a MOXA leading technology that uses a clever hardware solution to take care of the RS-485 data direction automatically sense and control data direction, making the hand shaking signal method unnecessary. control problem.
