Product Name:

Allen-Bradley 1786-RPFRXL ultra long range fiber optic ring repeater

Product Description:

This module acts as a network booster in the ControlNet system, performing the following functions:

Signal duplication: Receives weak control network signals transmitted through fiber optic cables and regenerates them to maintain signal strength and integrity.
Range Extension: Extending the maximum distance between ControlNet devices beyond the limits of copper cables, typically up to 40 km (24.8 mi) using single-mode fiber.
Network topology expansion: Larger, more complex ControlNet networks can be created by supporting connections across multiple network segments.
