1x RS485 to 1-port Fiber (SC/ST) Media Converter, support PROFIBUS

IFC-Serial-PRO is a serial over fiber converter that is capable of selecting interface modes for connection to RS-485 2-wire half duplex and supports high-speed data rates of PROFIBUS. Fiber optical cabling extends distances and isolates from EMC/noise to reduce interference between PROFIBUS devices. The terminal block offers an alarm relay contact and two redundant DC power inputs.

IFC -Serial-PRO is also available in two operating temperature ranges, a standard -10° to 60°C commercial temperature range and an extended -40° to 75°C range, making it is reliable and an ideal solution for keeping your industrial automation applications running smoothly and continuously even in harsh environments. IFC-Serial-PRO is protocol transparent, and can be applied to PROFIBUS and other networks using RS485 interfaces.
