Technical Overview
This media converter implements Fast Ethernet technology with support for 10Base-T, 100Base-FX, and 100Base-TX network standards. The RJ-45 port features auto-negotiation and auto-crossover functionality, automatically detecting half or full duplex transfer modes for seamless integration with existing network infrastructure.
Network performance features include support for IEEE 802.1q VLAN tagging pass-through, Q in Q double tagged frame transparency, and flow control with pause functionality. The device can forward packets up to 1600 bytes maximum and includes Link Fault Pass-Through (LFP) capability for network monitoring and troubleshooting.
This section brings together practical product details such as Total Number of Ports, Network (RJ-45), Number of PoE (RJ-45) Ports, Media Type Supported, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
The MCM110SC2P combines fiber extension with Power over Ethernet delivery in a single compact device, reducing equipment requirements for network deployments that need both connectivity types. The PoE PD port can power compatible devices such as wireless access points, IP cameras, or VoIP phones while extending their network connection over fiber.
Extended Network Reach
Convert copper Ethernet to multimode fiber optic connections to overcome distance limitations of twisted pair cabling. Support up to 2 km distances with SC connectors for campus, industrial, or outdoor deployments.
- 2 km maximum distance
- SC duplex connectors
- Multimode fiber support
PoE Integration
Deliver both data and power over the same connection with the integrated PoE PD port. Simplify deployments by eliminating separate power sources for compatible endpoints.
- PoE PD port type
- Single power source
- Device compatibility
Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is ideal for extending network segments beyond the 100-meter limitation of standard Ethernet cabling. Common applications include connecting buildings across a campus, linking network equipment in industrial environments, or establishing connections in environments with electromagnetic interference where fiber provides superior signal integrity.
The PoE capability makes this converter particularly useful for powering remote network devices such as outdoor wireless access points, security cameras, or network sensors that require both data connectivity and power delivery. The compact external design allows for flexible placement on desks, shelves, or mounted surfaces without requiring rack space.
Building-to-Building Connectivity
Connect network equipment between separate buildings using existing multimode fiber infrastructure. Maintain network performance over distances up to 2 km while avoiding ground potential differences and lightning risks associated with copper connections.
Industrial Network Extensions
Deploy in manufacturing facilities, warehouses, or outdoor environments where electromagnetic interference affects copper cable performance. Fiber optic immunity to EMI ensures reliable network connectivity in challenging conditions.
