Introduction

In conjunction with an EK1100 EtherCAT coupler, the 1-port EtherCAT multimode fiber optic junction enables conversion from 100Base-TX to 100Base-FX physics (glass fiber). In this way distances of up to 2 km can be bridged in conjunction with the EK1501 EtherCAT Coupler for multimode optical fibers. Even cable redundant systems with optical fiber can be realized using the 1-port EtherCAT multimode fiber optic junction. The run LED shows the status of the EK1521.
