Conversor Fast Ethernet ROLINE RC-100FX/SC

The ROLINE RC-100FX/SC Fast Ethernet Converter provides media conversion between STP (RJ-45) copper and multimode SC fiber. It supports 100 Mbit/s data transfer and accepts a 50/125µm multimode fiber with a maximum link distance of 2000 m. The package includes the converter, a 7.5V DC 500mA power supply and a manual. Colour: grey. Note: the device does not provide a repeater function.

Advantages

This converter enables seamless connectivity between STP copper and SC multimode fiber, offering straightforward installation in mixed-media networks. The unit supports 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet performance and includes a dedicated external power supply for immediate setup. Its loop-back feature facilitates testing and troubleshooting without additional tools.

Suitable for

• Extending network segments over multimode fiber up to 2000 m
• Connecting STP (RJ-45) devices to SC multimode fiber links
• Network maintenance and diagnostics using loop-back testing

How to use

Connect the RJ-45 STP cable from your copper Ethernet device to the converter’s RJ-45 port and attach the multimode SC fiber to the SC connector. Plug the supplied 7.5V DC, 500mA power supply into the converter and then into a mains outlet. Verify link LEDs and, if needed, use the loop-back function to perform basic connectivity tests and troubleshooting as part of network maintenance.

Recommendations

Install the converter in a dust-free, dry environment and avoid excessive bending of the fiber cable. Use 50/125 µm multimode fiber to reach the specified 2000 m distance. Do not expect repeater functionality; for signal regeneration over longer or multiple segments, use dedicated repeater or switch devices.
