Description
The TCF-142 media converters are equipped with a multiple interface circuit that can handle RS-232 or RS-422/485 serial interfaces and multimode or single-mode fiber. TCF-142 converters are used to extend serial transmission up to 5 km (TCF-142-M with multi-mode fiber) or up to 40 km (TCF-142-S with single-mode fiber). The TCF-142 converters can be configured to convert either RS-232 signals, or RS-422/485 signals, but not both at the same time.
Automatic Baudrate Detection
The TCF-142 converters can automatically detect the serial
baud rate, which is an extremely convenient feature. Even if a device’s baud
rate is changed, the signal will still be transmitted through the media
converter without any data loss.
Ring Operation
The TCF-142 converters can be used to connect serial devices to a fiber ring. To form the ring, connect the Tx port of one TCF-142 to the Rx port of a neighboring converter. Once the ring is set up, use the DIP switches to configure the TCF-142 converters for ring mode. When one node transmits a signal, the signal travels around the ring until it returns back to the transmitting unit, which then blocks the signal. With the TCF-142, you can set up fiber rings that have a total circumference of up to 100 km.
You can also find the TCF-142-M-SC, TCF-142-S-ST, and TCF-142-S-SC-T models in the Industrial Media Converters.
