The Black Box DIN Rail RS-232/RS-485 to Fiber Driver is a rail-mountable transceiver for connecting serial equipment over multimode fiber, with a listed maximum distance of 2.49 miles. It suits integrators and technicians extending serial links in DIN-rail installations.
Recommended For
- Plant and process-automation integrators extending existing RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 links between PLCs, meters, and other serial equipment over multimode fiber.
- Controls technicians connecting serial devices across long plant or building runs where multimode fiber, rather than a direct copper serial cable, is needed; the MED100A is specified for distances up to 4 km.
- Industrial maintenance teams mounting serial-to-fiber conversion inside control cabinets, where a DIN-rail form factor and terminal-block wiring fit the installation.
- Engineers linking serial equipment in electrically noisy areas who want fiber’s EMI/RFI immunity, including point-to-point or supported multimode-fiber ring connections.
