PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The
102MC Industrial Media Converter is designed
to allow the connection of 10/100BaseTX Ethernet
devices to your 100BaseFX fi ber cabling infrastructure.
The
102MC
provides one RJ-45 auto sensing
10/100BaseTX port and one 100BaseFX port. The
RJ-45 port is full/half duplex capable, using "state
of the art" Ethernet switching technology. The
102MC
auto-negotiates the speed and flow control
capabilities of the TX copper port connection, and
configures itself automatically. The 100BaseFX
fi ber optic port utilizes industry standard ST or SC
connectors and is confi gured for full duplex operation. Both
multimode and singlemode fi ber models are available.
Unlike most media converters the
102MC
uses switching
technology. This means that 10Mbps devices can be
connected today and upgraded to 100Mbps devices
later. The switching fabric simply scales up or down
automatically to match specifi c network environments.
The
102MC supports up to 2,000 MAC addresses,
enabling these products to support extremely
sophisticated and complex network architectures.
The
N-TRON 102MC
is well suited to convert 10/100 BaseTX
industrial devices to fi ber, allowing you to take advantage
of the inherent advantages of fi ber based infrastructure.
Compared to copper based systems, fi ber provides increased
noise immunity and longer cable lengths.
The
102MC has extended operating environmental
specifi cations to meet the harsh needs of the industrial
environment. For cost savings and convenience the
media converter can be DIN-Rail mounted alongside
Ethernet I/O or other industrial equipment.
The unique compact size provides a small footprint,
conserving space in the most critical dimension. The
102MC
can also be panel mounted if desired.
To increase reliability, the
102MC
includes
redundant power inputs. LEDs are provided to display
the link status and activity of each port, as well as power
on/off status.
