Moxa MGate MB3170-M-ST-G2 – Advanced 1-Port Modbus Gateway with Multi-Mode ST Fibre

The MB3170-M-ST-G2 connects Modbus RTU/ASCII serial devices to Modbus TCP systems over
multi-mode ST fibre, supporting 4 km transmission. It offers transparent or agent-mode
conversion for low-latency SCADA data access and robust EMI-immune networking.

  • Networking 1 × multi-mode ST fibre + 1 × RJ45 Ethernet for long-distance, noise-resistant data exchange
  • Modes Transparent or Agent (poll & cache) for flexible performance
  • Security HTTPS (TLS 1.2), SNMPv3, AES/RSA/ECC encryption; IEC 62443-4-1 compliant
  • Reliability Dual 12–48 V DC power, relay output, metal IP30 housing (−10 to 60 °C)
  • Ease of Use Web console, DSU, MXconfig, one-click diagnostics for fast configuration

Built for industrial sites requiring fibre-backed Modbus integration with strong security and
long-distance reliability.
