Extend Gigabit Networks Over Ultra-Long Distances
The MC210CS supports single-mode fiber up to 15 km, making it ideal for connecting buildings, remote sites, or campus facilities where standard copper Ethernet would be impractical. The 1310 nm wavelength ensures low attenuation over extended runs, preserving signal integrity across the entire distance.
Plug-and-Play Installation with Auto Negotiation
Auto MDI/MDI-X on the Gigabit Ethernet port removes the need for crossover cables, simplifying deployment. Front-panel LEDs provide instant status feedback for power, link, and activity, allowing quick troubleshooting without specialised tools.
Compact, Low-Power Design for 24/7 Operation
Measuring just 95 x 73 x 27 mm and consuming a maximum of 1.8 W, the MC210CS fits easily into tight rack or desktop spaces while minimising energy costs. Its fanless, solid-state construction ensures silent, reliable operation in environments from 0 °C to 40 °C.
