10/100BASE-T to 100BASE-FX Media Converters

The industrial 10/100BASE-TX to 100BASE-FX media converter series provides industrial strength Ethernet copper-to-fiber media conversion, allowing for 10Base-T-100Base-FX or 100Base-TX-100Base-FX over multi-mode or optional single-mode fiber optical media.

Key Features:

  • Support full wire speed conversion for 10/100Mbps speed and media types
  • Support auto-negotiation 10/100Mbps or forced mode on the copper port
  • Auto MDI/MDI-X crossover function on the copper port
  • Provide Link Fault Pass Through function
  • Transparent conversion to 802.1Q VLAN tagged packets
  • Provides Far End Fault function on FX (fiber) port
  • The optimal latency for 100M to 100M conversion
  • Two power interface types: screw terminal block and DC Jack
  • Low power consumption
  • DC power input options: +4.5 ~ +50VDC, 110VDC
  • Supports DIN rail mounting and optional screwed plane mounting
  • Compact design for easy installation in enclosure and chassis
  • Supports wide operating temperature range
  • Industrial-rated Emission and Immunity performance
