Additional Resources About the Module Use the 1786-RPFS module when you need a short-distance fiber link between two ControlNet products. Maximum distance is 300 m (984 ft). The fiber link provides ground isolation between nodes and is less susceptible to noisy environments than copper media.
2 ControlNet Modular Repeater Short-distance Fiber Module Important User Information Solid-state equipment has operational characteristics differing from those of electromechanical equipment. Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation and Maintenance of Solid State Controls (Publication SGI-1.1 available from your local Rockwell Automation sales office or online at http://www.rockwellautomation.com/literature/) describes some important differences between solid-state equipment and hard-wired electromechanical devices.

You will not use a channel Keep the protective cap on to protect the channel from dust. You place the module in storage Keep the protective cap on to protect the channel from dust.
10 ControlNet Modular Repeater Short-distance Fiber Module Connect the Fiber Module This module requires a pre-terminated zipcord wiring kit. The kits are offered in a variety of lengths. Consult with your local distributor for attenuation specifications before you purchase your fiber media components. The zipcord uses a duplex cable that contains two separate fibers, one for transmit and one for receive.
ControlNet Modular Repeater Short-distance Fiber Module 11 ATTENTION: Under certain conditions, viewing the optical port may expose the eye to hazard. When viewed under some conditions, the optical port may expose the eye beyond the maximum permissible exposure recommendations Troubleshoot the Module Use the channel 1 or 2 status indicators to check module status and troubleshoot the module.
