Product catalog summary
Product Overview: The RocketLinx MC5001 is a 1-port serial to fiber media converter designed to extend RS-232/422/485 serial communications over fiber media. It features easy DIP switch configuration, operates in temperatures from -20°C to 70°C, and supports a wide input voltage range. The device is housed in a rugged IP30 rated enclosure suitable for panel or DIN rail mounting.
Transmission Capabilities: The converter supports both Single-Mode and Multi-Mode fiber models, allowing for long-distance transmission up to 40KM. It automatically detects the baud rate of connected devices up to 921Kbps and supports Peer-to-Peer and Serial Fiber Ring (SFR) configurations.
Key Features: The MC5001 offers 3-in-1 RS-232/422/485 conversion, auto baud rate detection, 15KV ESD protection, dual power input modes with reverse polarity protection, and compliance with RoHS2 under CE. It also includes a two-way 120 ohm line terminator.
Technical Specifications: The device supports DC input voltage of 12-48 VDC and AC input voltage of 12-32 VAC. It has a power consumption of 1.5W and provides over current and ESD surge protection. The enclosure is made of aluminum metal, and the device includes LED indicators for power and data transmission.
Environmental Specifications: The MC5001 operates in temperatures from -20 to 70°C and can withstand humidity levels from 0% to 95%. It has a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 55.3 years for Single-Mode and 46.5 years for Multi-Mode.
Regulatory Approvals: The product complies with European Standard EN55022, FCC Part 15, and Canadian EMC requirements. It also meets various immunity standards such as ESD, RF, and surge protection.
Recommended Accessories: Compatible power supplies include the PS1020, PS1060, and PS1100 Universal models.

Part Numbers - Single-Mode: 32000-5 | Multi-Mode: 32001-2 KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:: • 3-in-1 RS-232/422/485 serial to fiber media converter • Easy DIP switch configuration • Models supporting Multi-Mode 5KM, Single-Mode 40KM • Peer-to-Peer or Serial Fiber Ring transmission mode for serial fiber ring communication • Auto baud rate detection, selection and direction • Baud rate of up to 921Kbps • High level immunity with 15KV ESD protection • Two-way 120 ohm line terminator embedded • Dual modes for power input, AC 24V (12-32V)/DC 24V (12-48V) with polarity reverse protection • -20°C to 70°C extended operating temperature • RoHS2 compliant under CE • Rugged IP30 rated enclosure MEDIA CONVERTOR PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:: The RocketLinx MC5001 is a 1-port serial to fiber media converter designed to extend RS-232/422/485 serial communications across a fiber media link using two converters. This product features simple DIP switch configuration, an extended operating temperature range from -20°C to 70°C, and a wide input voltage range. Cabling to the product is attached via direct wire screw terminal blocks for serial and power, and ST connectors for fiber connections. The product is packaged in a rugged IP30 rated enclosure suitable for panel or DIN rail mounting. Single-Mode and Multi-Mode fiber models meet the needs for long distance transmission up to 40KM. The RocketLinx MC5001 will automatically detect the data baud rate of the connected full-duplex serial device, up to 921Kbps. The RocketLinx MC5001 supports two transmission configurations, Peer-to-Peer in half/full-duplex and Serial Fiber Ring (SFR) in halfduplex. In a Peer-to-Peer configuration, two fibers are required between the two converters, one for data in each direction (RX and TX). To expand the number of connected serial devices, and extend transmission distance, multiple MC5001 units can link to each other as a ring architecture in SFR mode.
