490NRP95400 Schneider S908 FIBER OPTIC REPEATER

The Schneider Electric 490NRP95400 Fiber Optic Repeater is a crucial component for any system that requires long-distance communication between remote I/O nodes or network segments. The ability to provide a fiber optic bus and an electrical line-drop link makes it an excellent choice for a wide range of applications. These products are manufactured in France and are designed for Material handling, packaging, and textile machines usage. They come with a 2-year warranty from MRO Electric. We also carry I/O Modules from other manufacturers such as Modicon and ABB.

Features

One of the standout features of the 490NRP95400 is its compatibility with the Modbus Plus network. It also has a standard Modbus Plus 9-pin “D” connector and an “F”-style connector for connection to the remote I/O network, as well as an external Modicon Remote I/O 14 db tap, ensuring that it can easily connect to the rest of the system.

Installation

The repeater itself is compact and easy to install, with a panel or shelf mounting option and the ability to be powered by a 115/230 VAC or 24 VDC power source. Its two fiber optic transceivers and one electrical remote I/O interface make it a versatile and reliable choice for a wide range of applications.

The 490NRP95400 utilizes low-loss, industrial ST-type connectors for the fiber optic cable, ensuring a reliable connection. The repeater is passive, meaning it does not regenerate the received signal or add any additional delay, making it a good choice for high-speed communication systems. However, it is important to carefully follow the cable manufacturer’s recommendations for routing, installation, and testing of the fiber optic cable. Take care when terminating the ends to minimize signal loss. The cable should also be tested for proper attenuation before the installation of the repeater.
