  • Page 1 Installation Instructions ControlNet Modular Repeater Short-distance Fiber Module (Cat. No. 1786-RPFS) Use this document as a guide when you install a ControlNet repeater fiber module for short distances: To install the module, read these sections: For this information, refer to these sections: AB PLCs...
  • Page 2 ControlNet Modular Repeater Short-distance Fiber Module Use this module when a short-distance (distances of 300m/984ft) fiber link is required between two ControlNet products. This fiber link provides ground isolation between nodes and is less susceptible to noisy environments. The module provides: two independent full duplex fiber channels activity LED indicators for each fiber channel The figure below identifies the components of the module:...
