In order to integrate Foxtrot into a fibre-optic network (singlemode 9/125 μm, multimode 62.5/125 μm), media converters should be used, such as the N-TRON 102MC-ST.
The converter is powered from 24 VDC (consumption max. 140 mA, it can be powered from a common supply with the Foxtrot system), it is equipped with a single-port 100Base-TX (standard Ethernet RJ-45, for connecting the Ethernet connector of the Foxtrot system) and a single-port 100BaseFX, ST or a SC Duplex port - for connecting to the fibre-optic network.
The optical connector and the optic fibre must be specified in the order. Depending on the port (SC or ST) there are appropriate connectors on the module front panel:
The 102MC module is equipped with a redundant power supply. It is sufficient to connect any input (V1 or V2) to the 24 VDC power supply:
