Moxa serial converters TCF-142-M-ST-T

•  Ring and point-to-point transmission
•  Extends RS-232/422/485 transmission up to 40 km with single-mode (TCF-142-S) or 5 km with multi-mode (TCF-142-M)
•  Decreases signal interference
•  Protects against electrical interference and chemical corrosion
•  Supports baudrates up to 921.6 kbps
•  Wide-temperature models available for -40 to 75°C environments

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 fiber) or up to 40 km (TCF-142-S with single-mode fiber). 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.

Automatic Baudrate Detection

The TCF-142 converters can automatically detect the serial baudrate, which is an extremely convenient feature. Even if a device’s baudrate is changed, the signal will still be transmitted through the media converter without any data loss.
