140NRP31200
Schneider Electric
Overview
The 140NRP31200 is a Fibre converter in the Modicon Quantum automation platform range from Schneider Electric. It extends Modicon Quantum connectivity through its onboard communication interface.
Application & Technical Notes
As a fibre converter, the 140NRP31200 is intended for deployment in panel-based control cabinets and machine enclosures where Modicon Quantum equipment is installed. It bridges the controller to higher-level networks, HMIs, SCADA and peer devices, carrying configuration, process data and diagnostics.
Key published characteristics include an operating temperature range of 32…140 °F (0…60 °C). These values should be confirmed against the current manufacturer datasheet before final selection, as options and suffixes vary by configuration.
Maintenance & Diagnostics
Respect the published operating temperature window (32…140 °F (0…60 °C)); do not exceed it during commissioning or in enclosed panels without airflow. For storage and transit, keep the unit within -40…185 °F (-40…85 °C). Avoid condensation — the rated humidity is 0…95 %; store and operate the module in a dry, pollution-degree-appropriate enclosure. Confirm network addressing, baud/rate and topology match the rest of the system; keep firmware consistent across the cell. Always de-energise the circuit and follow lock-out/tag-out before handling; refer to the official instruction bulletin for service procedures.
Sourcing & Procurement
When sourcing the 140NRP31200, distinguish three supply tiers: (1) genuine Schneider Electric stock from an authorised distributor; (2) compatible equivalents or surplus/NOS (new-old-stock) from third parties; (3) alternative parts offering equivalent function. Genuine supply carries the full warranty and traceability; compatible or alternative items may be cheaper but should be validated for form, fit, firmware and certification before use in a live system. PLCXpert publishes this page as an independent reference and does not sell the part — verify every claim with the manufacturer or your distributor.
Match the protocol, connector and topology to the rest of the Modicon Quantum network and to the peer devices already installed. Lead times and pricing vary by region and lifecycle status; obtain a current quote from an authorised channel rather than relying on stale listings.

Specifications
The 140NRP31200, available from Schneider Electric in the Modicon series, serves as a versatile Ethernet fiber converter. This device operates with multi mode fiber optics at a wavelength of 1310 nm, making it suitable for various communication applications.
Description
| Note | Schneider Electric's 140NRP31200 is an Ethernet fiber converter optimized for effective data transmission. This model features multi mode optical fiber capability, operating at a wavelength of 1310 nm. Its input power requirement does not exceed 5 watts, while the inrush current measures 1 Amp at 5 Volts DC, which allows it to integrate smoothly into existing systems. Equipped with two fiber ports utilizing LC connectors, the module enables robust link connections. It also provides two Ethernet ports with RJ-45 interfaces, accommodating a wide range of network configurations. Signal reception is quite effective, with a sensitivity rating of -30 dBm, suitable for low-loss operation. One key aspect of this converter is its ability to maintain effective communication over long distances, supporting transceiver separation of up to 2000 or 3000 meters. With a bus current rating of 1000 mA, it ensures reliability for active network segments. Compact in size, it measures 250 mm in length, 40 mm in width, and 103 mm in height, weighing 0.554 kg, positioning it as an efficient solution for space-sensitive installations. |
