The modules convert The TCF-142-RM series can automatically detect the serial baudrate. This is an extremely convenient feature. Even if a device’s baudrate from the RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 signal to a fiber-optic signal. is changed, the signal will still be transmitted through the media converter without any problem.
