theben Media Coupler TP-RF KNX (9070868)

Description

Introduction

The theben Media Coupler TP-RF KNX (Item no. 9070868) serves as an essential bridging component in modern KNX building control architectures. Designed to seamlessly interface KNX RF radio frequency devices from a single wireless line with a standard KNX twisted-pair (TP) bus system, this media coupler ensures uninterrupted communications across hybrid wired and wireless installations. This device is part of our KNX automation components range.

Engineered for flush-mounted installation, the unit operates directly on KNX bus voltage without requiring an external auxiliary power source. It fully supports long frames for KNX Secure implementation, allowing faster downloads of large application programs in parallel while keeping system communications protected.

Key Features

• Connects KNX RF devices of one radio line with the KNX TP bus network.
• Operating voltage directly supplied via KNX Bus voltage.
• Flush-mounted installation type for hidden background mounting.
• KNX Secure support with long frames capability.
• Ambient operating temperature from -5°C to 45°C.
• Type of protection rated at IP 20.
• Protection Class III compliance.

Benefits

• Enables effortless integration of wireless KNX RF components into physical KNX twisted-pair bus lines.
