Manual of product TCF-142-M-ST
Editorial note
The Moxa TCF-142-M-ST stands out for its convenient and flexible wireless connection, which facilitates installation in various environments by eliminating the constraints of cables. With a long-distance transmission capability of up to 5 km and a high speed of 921.6 Kbit/s, this model ensures fast and reliable communication. Its compact design (67 x 100 x 22 mm) allows for optimal fitting even in tight spaces, which is a considerable advantage for installations where space is limited. However, the product has some drawbacks. Although it is wireless, connectivity issues may arise in crowded environments, which can affect data transmission performance. Additionally, its maximum transmission distance of 5 km may not be sufficient for certain applications requiring transmissions over greater distances. The power consumption of 140 mA, while reasonable, must be taken into account in installations where energy efficiency is crucial. In terms of robustness, the Moxa TCF-142-M-ST benefits from advanced protection against surges and electrostatic discharges, thus ensuring the safety of connected devices and increased durability. However, the operating temperature range (0 - 60 °C) may limit its use in extreme environments, which is a point to consider based on the expected climatic conditions. Overall, the Moxa TCF-142-M-ST is a high-performing and well-designed product, suitable for many applications, but it is important to assess its limitations based on the specific needs of each installation.Score details
