Hirschmann SPIDER 1TX/1FX-SM | Industrial Media Converter | Single-Mode Fiber | DIN Rail

The Hirschmann SPIDER 1TX/1FX-SM is a compact, rugged industrial media converter designed to bridge copper and fiber optic networks in demanding environments. Part of the Hirschmann SPIDER product family, this device reliably converts electrical Ethernet signals to optical signals, enabling long-distance, noise-immune network connections in industrial automation, transportation, and utility applications.

Key Features and Product Highlights

• Copper to Fiber Conversion: Seamlessly converts 10/100Base-TX electrical Ethernet from the RJ45 port to 100Base-FX optical signals on the single-mode SC fiber port, extending network reach and breaking the 100-meter limitation of standard copper Ethernet.

• Long-Distance Single-Mode Fiber: The single-mode fiber optic interface supports transmission distances up to 26 kilometers, making it ideal for connecting remote substations, linking separate buildings in an industrial complex, or spanning long sections of a transportation corridor.

• Rugged Industrial Design: Housed in a compact IP30 metal enclosure and rated for an operating temperature range of -40°C to +75°C, this converter is built to withstand harsh conditions including extreme temperatures, vibration, and electromagnetic interference.

• Easy DIN Rail Installation: Features standard 35mm DIN rail mounting for simple and secure integration into control cabinets, electrical rooms, and roadside cabinets.

• Plug-and-Play Operation: As an unmanaged device, it requires no configuration or software setup, ensuring fast deployment. It features automatic MDI/MDIX crossover on the copper port for easy cabling.

• Reliable Power Supply: Operates on a wide-range 24V DC power input, typical for industrial control systems, ensuring stable performance.

Technical Specifications

Applications

• Industrial Network Extension: Connecting a remote PLC or device cluster via fiber optic cable back to the main control room network.

• EMI and Lightning Protection: Using fiber optics to create an electrically isolated link between two buildings or areas, preventing ground loops and protecting equipment from voltage surges.

• Transportation Systems: Deploying in trackside or traffic control cabinets to extend network connectivity over long distances using existing single-mode fiber infrastructure.

• Utility and Energy: Creating reliable data links in substation automation and distributed renewable energy sites (e.g., between wind turbines).

• Campus Networks: Linking network segments across a large industrial plant or facility where copper Ethernet distances are insufficient.

Hirschmann SPIDER 1TX/1FX-SM industrial media converter. Converts 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX single-mode fiber. DIN rail mount, -40°C to +75°C operation.

• Solves Distance Challenges: Effectively overcomes the 100-meter limitation of standard copper Ethernet cables.

• Enhances Network Reliability: Fiber optic immunity to electrical noise ensures data integrity in electrically noisy industrial environments.

• Proven Industrial Quality: Hirschmann's reputation guarantees a product built for 24/7 operation in tough conditions.

• Saves Space and Cost: A compact, single-purpose device that is often more cost-effective than a switch with fiber ports for simple point-to-point links.

• Easy to Deploy: True plug-and-play functionality means it can be installed and operational in minutes.
