Schneider 140NRP95401C Modicon Fibre Optic Repeater

Product Description

The 140NRP95401C is a coated fibre optic repeater engineered for Schneider Electric Modicon Quantum automation systems. Designed for single-mode optical communication networks, this module extends Remote I/O (RIO) transmission distances while maintaining stable and interference-resistant data exchange in industrial environments.

This repeater integrates dual LC optical interfaces with a coaxial communication connection, enabling reliable long-range communication between distributed control devices and remote racks. The module is optimized for harsh operating conditions and supports severe-environment industrial installations where electrical noise immunity and communication reliability are essential.

The product has been discontinued by Schneider Electric and remains supported for service applications until December 31, 2029. The recommended migration replacement is the Modicon X80 series BMXNRP0201C fibre converter.
