100M SC to 100Base-TX Media Converter (unmanaged) MCFE
Fast Ethernet 10/100 Mbps Media Converters (Dual Fiber) are reliable and adaptive devices designed to convert Ethernet signals from twisted-pair copper (UTP) to optical fiber. They enable data transmission distances of up to 120 km without replacing the existing network infrastructure, making them a cost-effective solution for operators, enterprises, and industrial environments.
The series is designed for building Fast Ethernet backbone and distribution links, providing stable operation, low latency, and high reliability even in demanding conditions.
Key Advantages
- Up to 120 km transmission distance – supports single-mode fiber for long-distance connectivity.
- Fast Ethernet 10/100 Mbps support with auto-negotiation.
- Dual Fiber (two fibers) – stable and traditional optical architecture.
- Auto MDI/MDI-X detection – no crossover cables required.
- Full / Half Duplex with IEEE 802.3x flow control.
- Low latency thanks to cut-through and pure converter modes.
- Jumbo Frames support – up to 1600 bytes.
- LED indicators for power, link, and activity status.
- Optional LFP function (Link Fault Pass-Through) via DIP switch.
- Wall-mountable and rack-mountable (19”, 2U chassis).
- MTBF over 50,000 hours – industrial-grade reliability.
Typical Applications
- Carrier and metropolitan access networks
- Interconnection of remote buildings and facilities
- Video surveillance systems (IP cameras)
- Industrial and energy infrastructure
- Enterprise and campus networks
- Fast Ethernet extension without replacing active equipment
