100M WDM SC to 100Base-TX Media Converter (unmanaged) MCFE
Fast Ethernet Media Converters of the MCFE Series (Single Fiber / BiDi) are a cost-effective and reliable solution for transmitting 10/100 Mbps Ethernet over a single optical fiber. These devices convert signals from twisted-pair copper (UTP) to fiber optic and enable transmission distances of up to 120 km without upgrading the existing network infrastructure.
The MCFE Single Fiber series is ideal for carrier access networks, FTTx deployments, enterprise and industrial networks, video surveillance systems, and environments with limited fiber resources where minimizing infrastructure costs is essential.
Key Advantages of the MCFE (BiDi) Series
- Single Fiber transmission (BiDi) – saves up to 50% of fiber resources.
- Up to 120 km distance over single-mode fiber.
- Auto speed negotiation 10/100 Mbps.
- Auto MDI/MDI-X – no crossover cables required.
- Full / Half Duplex with flow control support.
- Low latency – cut-through and pure converter modes.
- Jumbo Frames support – up to 1600 bytes.
- LED indicators for power, link, and activity.
- Optional LFP function (Link Fault Pass-Through, DIP switch).
- Wall mounting or installation in 19” 2U rack chassis.
- MTBF > 50,000 hours – high reliability for continuous operation.
Applications
- FTTx access networks
- Carrier and metropolitan networks
- Interconnection of remote buildings and nodes
- Video surveillance systems (IP cameras)
- Industrial and infrastructure facilities
- Enterprise and campus networks
