TRENDnet TFC-FMSC 100Base-T to 100Base-FX Multi-Mode SC Fiber Converter

TRENDnet TFC-FMSC

100Base-T to 100Base-FX Multi-Mode SC Fiber Converter

The TRENDnet TFC-FMSC is a multi-mode SC media converter designed to convert a 100Base-TX (Fast Ethernet) copper signal to a 100Base-FX fiber signal. This allows you to extend your network over a multi-mode fiber optic cable up to 2 km (1.24 miles) away. This is an ideal solution for connecting two network devices over a long distance, such as a switch in one building to a workstation or server in another, where copper cabling would be insufficient. The TFC-FMSC is a cost-effective way to integrate fiber into an existing copper network, providing high-speed and secure data transmission. It is a plug-and-play device with no configuration required, making it easy to install and use. It also supports Link Loss Return (LLR), which automatically shuts down the Ethernet switch's port if the fiber connection is lost, ensuring a seamless network connection.

The TFC-FMSC is a genuine TRENDnet product and is part of a series of converters that can be used as standalone devices or installed in the optional TFC-1600 chassis system for a more scalable solution.

Features :

This fiber converter is engineered with features to provide a reliable and efficient network connection. It features one 100Base-TX RJ-45 port and one 100Base-FX SC multi-mode port. The RJ-45 port supports auto-negotiation for 10/100 Mbps and auto-MDIX for easy cable connection. The SC multi-mode fiber port operates at a wavelength of 1310 nm and is capable of extending the network over a distance of up to 2 km (1.24 miles). It features a robust metal housing for durability and includes LED indicators for power, fiber, and copper link/activity status. The device supports Link Loss Return (LLR) and Link Fault Pass-Through (LFP) functions to ensure network redundancy and minimize downtime. The LLR feature automatically diagnoses a break in the fiber and shuts down the copper port to alert the network administrator of the connection loss. The converter includes an external power adapter, and it can also be powered by the optional TFC-1600 chassis system.

Advanced Options :

The TRENDnet TFC-FMSC is a versatile and scalable solution for your networking needs. Its ability to be installed in the TFC-1600 chassis allows for a high-density, centralized solution, which is ideal for data centers or corporate environments. The converter is a dependable and high-performance solution for building a scalable and secure network infrastructure for business-critical applications. The simple, plug-and-play design makes it easy to integrate into any existing network without the need for complex configuration. This converter is a dependable solution for extending your network over long distances and maximizing the use of your existing fiber optic cabling.
