Product Overview

The 1797-RPFM is the Allen-Bradley ControlNet Ex Fiber Repeater Module (medium distance). It connects to a 1797-RPA (Modular Repeater Adapter) within ControlNet Ex systems, acting as a fiber-based extension for medium-range network segments. It enables connection of up to two devices per hub and is powered directly by the associated 1797-RPA, supporting hazardous-location installations within a ControlNet Ex distributed network. This module is typically deployed in industrial automation communication architectures where coax is replaced or augmented by fiber for noise immunity or extended reach.

Best Suited For

  • Extending ControlNet Ex network via fiber
  • Medium-distance segment extension in ControlNet Ex systems
