Schneider BMXNRP0201 Fiber Converter Module, Modicon X80, Single Mode

The Schneider Electric BMXNRP0201 is a single-mode fiber converter module for the Modicon X80 platform, designed to bridge copper 100BASE-TX Ethernet connections to 100BASE-FX single-mode fiber links. It provides two independent conversion channels with a maximum operating distance of 15,000 m per channel at 1310 nm wavelength, making it suited for distributed automation architectures where copper cabling is insufficient.
