Moxa CSM-200 Series – Hot-Swappable Ethernet-to-Fiber Slide-In Modules for the NRack System™

The CSM-200 Series from Moxa offers high-reliability Ethernet-to-fiber media conversion modules designed specifically for the NRack System™. These slide-in modules convert 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet to 100BaseFX fiber and can be installed into any NRack chassis for scalable and maintainable industrial networking.

The series supports multiple fiber connector options—ST and SC—as well as both multimode and single-mode fiber types. Integrated features such as Link Fault Pass-Through (LFP) and Far End Fault (FEF) ensure fast fault detection and enhance overall network reliability. Depending on the application, the converter can operate in store-and-forward or pass-through mode, giving you control over latency and performance.

With auto-negotiation, plug-and-play simplicity, and hot-swappable design, the CSM-200 modules are an excellent choice for modular fiber extension in industrial environments.
