Product Features
Technical Overview
The MC110CS operates at 100 Mbps in Full-Duplex mode for both the TX (copper) and FX (fiber) ports, ensuring efficient bidirectional data transfer. It supports auto-negotiation and provides switch-configurable Force/Auto transfer modes for the FX port, allowing flexibility in network setup. The fiber optic interface uses a 9/125 µm core/cladding specification, compatible with standard single-mode fiber cables.
This media converter is powered by an external adapter with a low power consumption of 2.40 W, contributing to energy efficiency in network deployments. Its compact external form factor measures 1.10" (27.94 mm) in height, 3.70" (93.98 mm) in width, and 2.90" (73.66 mm) in depth, making it easy to install in various environments without requiring rack space.
