Allen-Bradley 1786-RPFRXL Fiber Ring Repeater
Description
The Allen-Bradley 1786-RPFRXL Fiber Ring Repeater is a ControlNet module designed to extend network reach and establish ring topologies. A key feature is its ability to convert ControlNet network media from coaxial cable to fiber, enabling longer, more robust industrial communication setups. As part of the 1786 series of ControlNet modules, it complements other specialized modules in the line for diverse network configurations.
This repeater operates on a ControlNet network with a fixed transmission rate of 1.25 Mbps, ensuring reliable, consistent data transfer for industrial control applications. It supports a maximum ring length of 200 kilometers (124.27 miles), making it ideal for large-scale industrial facilities requiring extended network coverage. Powered by 24 VDC, it functions reliably across a wide operating temperature range of -40 degrees Celsius to 70 degrees Celsius (-40 degrees Fahrenheit to 158 degrees Fahrenheit), suitable for harsh industrial environments.
With compact dimensions of 114 mm x 114 mm x 35 mm (4.5 inches x 4.5 inches x 1.38 inches) and a weight of 0.45 kg (1 pound), it offers flexible installation options including DIN rail mounting or panel mounting. Its durable housing ensures protection in demanding industrial settings, supporting stable, long-term network performance.
