Conversor industrial 10/100Base-T ROLINE 21.13.1142

The ROLINE Industrial Converter 10/100Base-T ROLINE 21.13.1142 is a media converter that enables reliable copper-to-fiber Ethernet connectivity for industrial environments. It supports 10/100 Mbit/s data rates and transparent conversion of 802.1Q VLAN tagged packets, allowing extension of network links over multimode optical fiber with stable performance. The unit accepts DC input via terminal block or DC plug and is suited for DIN-rail mounting in control cabinets or industrial racks.

Advantages

This industrial converter provides full wire-speed conversion between copper and multimode fiber for 10/100 Mbit/s links, offers low power consumption (max. 2.6 W) and wide operating temperature range (-10 °C to +70 °C). It supports auto-negotiation or forced 10/100 Mbps mode on the TP port, auto MDI/MDI-X, Link Fault Pass Through and Far End Fault functions for improved link monitoring, and comprehensive manual configuration options. The compact metal housing and industrial-rated emission and immunity performance make it suitable for harsh environments.

Suitable for

• Extending Ethernet links over multimode optical fiber in industrial networks
• Connecting a single RJ-45 copper device to an ST multimode fiber network
• DIN-rail mounted installations in control cabinets and automation systems

How to use

Mount the converter on a DIN-rail or place it in an appropriate enclosure, connect a 7–30 VDC power source via the terminal block or DC plug, and connect the copper Ethernet device to the RJ-45 port. Terminate the multimode fiber with an ST connector to the FX port. Configure the TP port for auto-negotiation or forced 10/100 Mbps as required and verify link status and fault functions through the converter’s indicators and settings. Ensure correct VLAN handling when integrating into VLAN-tagged networks.

Recommendations

Use a recommended power supply (ROLINE 21.13.1226) and ensure fiber and copper terminations meet industrial installation standards. Install the converter within the specified temperature range and verify Link Fault Pass Through and Far End Fault behavior during commissioning to guarantee reliable link monitoring.
