Media modules for SCALANCE X-300/XR-300

The use of 2-port media modules (electrical or optical) lets you:

• Expand the network by subsequent installation of additional media modules in free media module slots
• Change the cabling technology (e.g. conversion from copper to fiber-optic cables, or from multi-mode to single-mode FOC)
