The modules provide media conversion from 10/100BaseT(X) to 100BaseFX (SC or ST connector) for fibre optic transmission up to 40km. For secure remote failure detection of connected devices, the CSM-200 series supports the TS-1000 protocol. Users can switch between store and forward mode for high performance throughout and cut through mode for real time response with a simple DIP switch. The CSM-200 series also features hot swapping, so modules can be installed or removed without interrupting the entire system.

CSM-200 modules are used with Moxa’s NRack System, which consists of three major components: a 19-slot 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 ideal for centralised management applications that require multiple several converters to be deployed in a confined space.

The CSM-200 series supports Moxa’s turbo ring and can work perfectly with EDS series switches for applications in harsh environments that require a rugged solution with high density media conversion. This makes the NRack System with CSM-200 Ethernet-to-fibre modules the optimal choice for centralised network systems such as roadway and factory automation.
