Moxa CSM-200 Series – Slide-In 10/100BaseT(X) to 100BaseFX Media Converters for the NRack System™

The Moxa CSM-200 Series are high-reliability slide-in Ethernet-to-fiber media converter modules designed for use with the NRack System™. These modules convert 10/100BaseT(X) copper Ethernet to 100BaseFX fiber and are ideal for scalable, modular network deployments in industrial environments.

The series supports both multi-mode (SC/ST) and single-mode (SC) fiber connections, allowing flexible deployment options. Integrated features like Link Fault Pass-Through (LFP) and Far End Fault (FEF) provide proactive fault detection, while the choice of store-and-forward or pass-through mode lets you balance latency and data integrity as needed.

Designed for plug-and-play setup and hot-swappable installation, the CSM-200 modules simplify maintenance and minimize downtime. A built-in 1.5 kV magnetic isolation enhances system robustness in noisy industrial conditions.
