Need Reliable Long-Distance Ethernet in Harsh Industrial Environments?
Industrial networks often require extending Ethernet beyond the 100-meter limit of copper cabling, especially in plants, substations, and remote sites. The Schneider Electric 140NRP31200 is a purpose-built Ethernet fiber converter from the Modicon Quantum automation platform that solves this challenge by converting electrical Ethernet signals to optical signals over multi-mode fiber. This ensures noise immunity, electrical isolation, and distances up to 3000 meters.
What Is the 140NRP31200?
The 140NRP31200 is a fiber converter module designed for the Modicon Quantum automation platform. It converts Ethernet signals to fiber optic signals, allowing you to connect remote devices, PLCs, and I/O drops over long distances. It supports multi-mode fiber with a wavelength of 1310 nm, and provides two fiber optic LC ports and two Ethernet RJ-45 ports, giving you flexibility in network topology.
Key Benefits at a Glance
- Extended Distance: Supports transceiver separation up to 2000 m (with 50/125 µm fiber) or 3000 m (with 62.5/125 µm fiber).
- Robust Communication: Receiver sensitivity of -30 dBm ensures reliable signal detection even in low-loss conditions.
- Easy Integration: Standard RJ-45 Ethernet ports and LC fiber connectors make it simple to connect to existing switches and PLCs.
- Compact Design: Measures 250 mm (H) x 40.34 mm (W) x 103.85 mm (D) and weighs only 0.554 kg, saving valuable panel space.
- Industrial-Grade: CE marked, UL 508, CSA C22.2 No 142, FM Class 1 Division 2, and TÜV certified for harsh environments.

How Does It Work?
The 140NRP31200 acts as a media converter. It takes Ethernet signals from your controller or switch (via RJ-45) and converts them to light pulses for transmission over multi-mode fiber. The fiber link is immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and can span much longer distances than copper. The module also provides electrical isolation between network segments, protecting your equipment from ground loops and voltage surges.
Applications
- Extending Ethernet to remote I/O panels or field devices.
- Connecting PLCs across different buildings or floors.
- Creating redundant ring topologies with fiber backbones.
- Upgrading existing copper networks to fiber for higher reliability.
