The N-TRON®102MC is an unmanaged 10/100BaseTX to 100BaseFX Industrial Media Converter. It is housed in a hardened, metal, DIN-Rail enclosure, and is designed for use in industrial data acquisition, control, and Ethernet I/O applications.
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 fl ow 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.
