This media converter converts electrical Ethernet signals (TX) into optical Ethernet signals (FX).
The optical Ethernet signals are used for operation in hazardous areas of Zones 0, 1 and 2 with the "Ex op is" type of protection. This means that conventional fibre optic cables can also be used in hazardous areas and may be connected and disconnected during operation (i.e. hot swap).
The media converter (multi-mode) is suitable for operating the IS1+ Remote I/O system in Zone 1.
- For 100 Mbps Ethernet with inherently safe "op is" fibre optic cables in Zone 0, 1 or 2
- Transmission range up to 5 km (multi-mode) or up to 30 km (single-mode)
- Extended temperature range from -30 to +75 °C
- Easy commissioning, no configuration required
- Installation in Zone 2 or in safe areas
