Reliable Multi-Mode Fibre Connectivity

The MC100CM enables seamless integration between fibre and copper networks by supporting IEEE 802.3u standards for both 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX. With its 1310 nm wavelength and SC-Type connector, it delivers stable data transmission over multi-mode fibre up to 2km. Auto MDI/MDI-X and duplex auto-negotiation ensure plug-and-play compatibility with existing network hardware.

Compact Design for Easy Deployment

Measuring just 95 x 73 x 27 mm and weighing minimal, this converter fits neatly into tight spaces without disrupting airflow or rack layout. Its black metal chassis is built for durability, while LED indicators provide clear status monitoring. The device operates reliably in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C, making it suitable for both office and industrial environments.

Low Power, High Efficiency

With a maximum power draw of only 2.4 W, the MC100CM offers energy-efficient operation without compromising performance. This low consumption reduces heat output and operational costs, particularly beneficial in deployments with multiple units or in remote locations where power availability is limited.

Key points to check

  • Confirm your network uses 100 Mbit/s Ethernet (not Gigabit)
  • Verify fibre type: must be multi-mode for 2km range
  • Check connector compatibility: requires SC-Type fibre connectors
  • Ensure available power source supports 100-240V input

Common questions

What type of fibre cable works with this converter?
Multi-mode fibre cable with SC-Type connectors is required for proper operation.
Can this device connect to Gigabit networks?
No, it supports only 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet, not Gigabit speeds.
Does it support both full and half duplex modes?
Yes, it automatically negotiates duplex mode for flexible compatibility.
What is the maximum distance for fibre connections?
Up to 2000 metres (1.2 miles) using multi-mode fibre at 1310 nm wavelength.
Is this converter suitable for outdoor use?
No, it’s designed for indoor use only within 0-40°C operating temperature range.
