10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX FE Converter

10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX FE Converter

EN50121-4EN61000

The IMC-100C are compact Fast Ethernet non-managed industrial media converters that support conversion between electrical 10/100Base-TX and optical 100Base-FX Ethernet. Simple DIP switch settings allow configuring fibre port to half or full duplex, enabling LFPT (Link Fault Pass Through), and selecting Switch Mode (store & forward) or Converter Mode (Jumbo frame Pass-through). Housed in rugged DIN rail or wall mountable enclosures, these converters are designed for harsh environments, such as industrial networking and intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and are also suitable for many military and utility market applications where environmental conditions exceed commercial product specifications.
