Optical Fiber for Ethernet Communication
The NPort® IA5000 Series includes 100BaseFX fiber models that support transmission distances up to 5 km for multi-mode models, and up to 40
km for single-mode models. Optical fiber is well-suited for industrial applications because it is immune to electromagnetic noise and interference.
For environments that experience high ground loop voltages, fiber provides the best isolation protection, and because there is no danger of
sparking, optical fiber is safer than copper wire to use in hazardous environments.
Industrial-grade Certification
To ensure safe and reliable operation in industrial environments, the NPort® IA5000 device servers have obtained various industrial certifications,
including an IP30 rating for mechanical protection, UL 508 safety certification for industrial control equipment, and explosion-safe certifications for
hazardous locations. Certifications include UL/cUL Class 1 Division 2 Groups A, B, C, D, as well as ATEX Class 1 Zone 2, and IECEx Zone 2.

Note: When connecting a single-mode fiber transceiver, we recommend using an
attenuator to prevent damage caused by excessive optical power.
Note: Compute the “typical distance” of a specific fiber transceiver as follows: Link
budget (dB) > dispersion penalty (dB) + total link loss (dB).
