Moxa CSM-200 ethernet-to-fibre modules for NRack System

Click2Contact

Moxa has released the CSM-200 series of slide-in ethernet-to-fibre modules for the NRack System. The modules provide media conversion from 10/100baseT(X) to 100baseFX (SC or ST connector) for fibre-optic transmission up to 40 km. For secure remote failure detection of connected devices, the CSM-200 series supports the TS-1000 protocol. Via a DIP switch, users can switch between store-and-forward mode for high-performance throughput and cut-through mode for real-time response. The CSM-200 series also features hot swapping, so modules can be installed or removed without interrupting the entire system.

Moxa’s NRack System consists of three major components - a rackmount chassis, slide-in modules for ethernet-to-fibre and serial-to-fibre expansion, and power supply modules. The NRack System accommodates up to 19 slide-in modules within its rack mountable chassis and comes with an AC/DC power input for greater flexibility. Designed for simple wiring in high-density applications, Moxa’s chassis-type NRack System media converters are suitable for centralised management applications that require multiple converters to be deployed in a confined space.

The CSM-200 series supports Moxa’s Turbo Ring and can work with EDS series switches for applications in harsh environments that require a rugged solution with high-density media conversion.
