Allen-Bradley 1786-RPFS
ControlNet Fiber Ring Short Repeater Module
Product Description
The Allen-Bradley 1786-RPFS is a ControlNet Fiber Ring Short Repeater module designed to extend and segment ControlNet networks using fiber-optic media. It supports ring topologies and provides signal regeneration and isolation across fiber segments. The module is DIN rail-mounted and operates in conjunction with a repeater adapter such as the 1786-RPA or 1786-RPA/B, which supplies power and manages communication. This product is intended for industrial environments requiring extended ControlNet coverage with fiber media.

Product Questions
Q: What is the function of the 1786-RPFS in a ControlNet network? It extends ControlNet segments using fiber-optic media and supports ring topologies for redundancy and fault tolerance.
Q: Is the 1786-RPFS compatible with copper coaxial media? No. The 1786-RPFS is designed exclusively for fiber-optic media. Copper-based repeaters require modules such as 1786-RPCD.
Q: How many 1786-RPFS modules can be connected to one repeater adapter? Up to four repeater modules can be connected to a single 1786-RPA or 1786-RPA/B adapter.
Q: Is termination required when using the 1786-RPFS? Fiber segments must be properly terminated and tested according to ControlNet installation guidelines. The module itself does not include termination.
