The TCF-142 media converters are equipped with a multiple interface circuit that can handle RS-232 or RS-422/485 serial interfaces and multi-mode or single-mode fiber. TCF-142 converters are used to extend serial transmission up to 5 km (TCF-142-M with multi-mode fibre) or up to 40 km (TCF-142-S with single-mode fibre).

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.

The TCF-142 series can also automatically detect the serial baud rate. This is an extremely convenient feature as even if a device’s baudrate is changed, the signal will still be transmitted through the media converter without any data loss.

For more information about the TCF-142 serial to fibre converters, please contact our technical sales team on +44(0)1782 337 800 or alternatively submit an enquiry.
