Product Description

The Transition Networks RS485-CF-02(SM) is a specialized serial media converter that enables the transmission of RS-422 and RS-485 serial data over single-mode fiber optic cable. This is particularly useful in environments where electrical noise, ground loops, or distance limitations make traditional copper serial communication unreliable or impossible. The converter features a standard DB-9 (9-pin) connector for interfacing with RS-422/RS-485 devices such as PLCs, industrial controllers, sensors, and other serial equipment. On the fiber optic side, it utilizes an SC connector for single-mode fiber, operating at a wavelength of 1310nm. While single-mode fiber is typically associated with long distances, the '02' in the model might indicate a shorter range variant, often up to 2 kilometers, suitable for campus networks or large facilities. This media converter is designed to provide robust and secure serial data transmission, immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI). It typically includes LED indicators for monitoring serial port activity, fiber link status, and power. The RS485-CF-02(SM) usually operates with an external power adapter, making it a versatile solution for industrial automation, building management systems, and other applications requiring reliable serial communication over fiber.
