1700-Sa – Safe Area op-is Media Converter
- The latest addition to HMI-Elements range of Safe Area HMI Accessories
- Light weight at only 4.4lb and with a depth of only 9.1” it brings elegance to the Safe Area
- Two ‘Ex op is’ fibre ports – inherently safe to IEC 60079-28:2015
The 1700-Sa is intended for use in Safe Areas. The two fibre-optic ports are 
designated ‘Ex op is’ – meaning the transmitted optical power is deemed inherently safe according to IEC 60079-28:2015.
Therefore the fibre cables can pass into Zone 2 and Zone 1 areas and connect to suitably approved and compatible link-partners such as HMIs.
The 1700-Sa functions as an un-managed Ethernet switch with both fibre and copper ports inter-connected internally. No configuration is necessary.
