Beckhoff Automation ek1521-0010

The EK1521-0010 1-port EtherCAT junction with single-mode fiber-optic connection can be used in an EtherCAT Terminal segment at any position between EtherCAT Terminals and enables configuration of EtherCAT star topologies with 100BASE FX hardware (glass fiber). A modular EtherCAT star hub can be realized by using several EK1521-0010 units in a station.   Special features: connection technology: 1 x single-mode fiber-optic connection via SC duplex connection lengths: up to 20 km can be used for configuring an EtherCAT star topology   The EK1521-0010 has an SC duplex socket and enables conversion from 100BASE-TX to 100BASE-FX hardware (glass fiber) in conjunction with an EtherCAT Coupler, e.g., EK1100. Distances of up to 20 km can be reached with the EK1521-0010 and the EK1501-0010 EtherCAT Couplers for single-mode glass fiber. Even cable redundant systems with optical fiber can be realized using the 1-port EtherCAT fiber-optic junction.
