StarTech.com 10/100 Fiber to Ethernet Media Converter Multi Mode SC 2 km

The StarTech.com MCM110SC2 fiber media converter provides a reliable and cost-effective solution for extending Ethernet networks over multimode fiber optic cabling. Designed to convert 10Base-T or 100Base-Tx Ethernet signals to 100Base-Fx optical signals, this converter supports multimode fiber distances up to 2 kilometers (about 1.2 miles), making it ideal for connecting remote network segments with high performance and scalability. Its compact external form factor allows easy installation in various network environments, providing seamless integration with existing Ethernet infrastructure.
Built with compatibility in mind, the MCM110SC2 supports most major network brands including Cisco, 3COM, Lucent, and Nortel, and adheres to IEEE 802.3 standards. It features LED indicators for straightforward link monitoring, enabling IT administrators to quickly assess network status. The converter supports advanced features such as flow control (Pause), VLAN pass-through (IEEE 802.1q), and link fault pass-through (LFP), ensuring robust and flexible network management. Additionally, it offers switch configuration options for half or full duplex modes on the fiber port, optimizing performance based on network requirements.
Designed to handle jumbo packets up to 9,000 bytes, this media converter ensures minimal packet loss and maintains high throughput even during heavy network traffic. Its support for transparent double-tagged frames (Q-in-Q) enhances network segmentation capabilities, making it suitable for complex VLAN configurations. The simple yet sturdy design includes dual ports—one RJ-45 for twisted pair Ethernet and one SC duplex port for fiber—making it suitable for various deployment scenarios. Powered by an AC adapter, the device consumes a modest 2.4 watts and comes with a 2-year warranty and lifetime technical support from StarTech.com, ensuring long-term reliable operation.
Whether expanding an existing fiber network or bridging remote locations, the MCM110SC2 is a dependable choice for network administrators seeking performance, compatibility, and ease of use in a fiber Ethernet media converter.
