The A-CFR ControlNet Fiber Repeater extends the length of a network for

a point-to-point topology while performing network media conversion from

copper to fiber, and from fiber to copper.

The A-CFR can be used when a medium-distance fiber link between two

ControlNet products is needed. The fiber link provides isolation between

nodes and is less susceptible to a noisy environment than copper media.

Features

• A pair of A-CFR modules can be used to physically extend a ControlNet

network by up to 3 km (1.86 miles) using

standard industrial multi-mode fiber.

• Supports Redundant ControlNet applications by duplicating the setup.

• Supports common industrial fiber cables:

• OM1 – 62.5/125 μm

• OM2 – 50/125 μm

• Wide operating voltage 10 to 32 VDC

• Small form factor – DIN rail mounted
