Note:
The new and old versions are identical in specifications, but because of differences in material
characteristics between the two versions, it is recommended to use them in pairs as much as
possible. If mixed use is necessary, it is known that in specific optical power conditions, the old
version may have difficulty communicating with the new version at distances typically less than 20
meters. In such cases, it is advised to add a 3dB attenuator to the new version's Fiber Tx, which
should fix this problem. If issues persist with mixed usage, please contact Moxa customer service for
help.
The effective schedule of this transition may be changed based on stock availability. Please contact
Product Manager for the most up-to-date schedule.
