MOXA TCF-90-M-ST Introduction
The Moxa TCF-90-M-ST serial to fiber converter offers a reliable and cost-effective solution to bridge the gap between serial communication and fiber optic networks. This compact and powerful device enables smooth and stable connectivity even in harsh environments and extends communication without signal degradation. As part of the TCF series, its versatile features and user-friendly design are for engineers and system integrators who need consistent serial-to-fiber performance. The Moxa TCF-90-M-ST converter transforms traditional serial data into optical signals, reduces interference, and extends communication distances. This industrial serial converter guarantees secure and fast data transfer for control systems, SCADA networks, or legacy RS-232 devices. As a fiber to serial converter, it brings the benefits of fiber communication, such as improved security, longer transmission ranges, and immunity to environmental noise, to serial devices.
Dual RS-232 Ports for Flexible Connectivity
The Moxa TCF-90-M-ST serial to fiber converter has 2 x serial ports with RS-232 connectors, for connecting multiple devices. This dual-port configuration enhances versatility in control rooms or system setups and requires redundancy or multi-point serial communication. It supports RS-232 standards with DB9 connectors and enables straightforward integration with a wide range of legacy equipment. Unlike single-port solutions, having dual RS-232 to multi-mode ST fiber optic converter capability boosts operational efficiency by allowing simultaneous data transmission across two separate devices without sacrificing performance. The TCF-90-M-ST is suitable for various industrial sectors, including Factory Automation. By supporting essential protocols and offering integration, it addresses modern industrial demands with precision.
Power-Efficient and Industrial-Grade Design
One of the standout features of the Moxa TCF-90-M-ST is its port-powered capability to reduce wiring complexity and installation time. It can draw power directly from the serial port or via an external supply ranging between 5 to 12 VDC input voltage and offers flexibility across various power infrastructures. Its rugged Plastic and IP30 rated housing withstands the rigors of industrial settings and protects against dust and light mechanical impacts. This durable construction makes the Moxa TCF-90-M-ST converter well-suited for long-term use in demanding applications. Its compact form factor and robust casing ensure optimal operation without compromising durability or efficiency.
Effortless Installation and Environmental Resilience
Installation is made easy with a Desktop installation setup and allows for a quick deployment process. This plug-and-play configuration ensures that users with minimal technical knowledge can implement the device without delays. Moreover, the device is for environments with temperature extremes and operates efficiently in ranges from 0 to 60°C for both indoor control rooms and industrial field locations. The temperature tolerance, combined with the strong IP-rated casing, ensures that the Moxa TCF-90-M-ST serial converter performs consistently, even in dynamic or vibration-prone environments. These features make it one of the most resilient industrial edge connectivity devices in its class.
