EL100C-20 Commercial Fiber Media Converter (SC) 20km

EL100C-20 Ethernet to Single-Mode Fiber Media Converter

10/100 Mbps copper Ethernet to 100 Mbps single-mode fiber with SC connectors and up to 20km reach.

Commercial operating temperature: 0 to 45°C (32 to 113°F).

The EtherWAN EL100C-20 connects copper Ethernet equipment to single-mode fiber through one RJ45 Ethernet port and one fixed SC fiber port. Its 1310nm optics support links up to 20km, subject to the link’s optical losses.

Designed for climate-controlled commercial installations, this unmanaged converter provides straightforward Ethernet-to-fiber connectivity. DIP switches configure Link-Fault-Pass-Through, duplex settings, and store-and-forward or converter mode.

Key Features

• Fast Ethernet connectivity: One RJ45 port supports 10/100 Mbps copper Ethernet, with a 100BASE-FX fiber port.
• Up to 20km single-mode reach: Built-in 1310nm optics support longer-distance fiber connections.
• Fixed SC fiber connection: Separate transmit and receive connections, with no SFP module required.
• Link-Fault-Pass-Through: Configurable LFPT helps connected equipment detect link failures.
• Selectable operating modes: DIP switches configure processing mode and duplex settings.
• Automatic cable detection: Auto MDI/MDI-X removes the need for a crossover Ethernet cable.
• Commercial operation: Rated from 0 to 45°C (32 to 113°F).
• Compact aluminum enclosure: Supports wall mounting or installation in the compatible EMC1600 chassis.
• Included power adapter: Supplied with a 12VDC external power adapter.

Applications

• Extending Fast Ethernet connections between buildings.
• Connecting remote equipment over existing single-mode fiber.
• Linking compatible surveillance equipment to a central network.
• Converting copper Ethernet to fiber in business or campus networks.

Common Questions

What is the difference between the EL100C-20 and EL100C?
The EL100C-20 supports single-mode fiber with up to 20km reach. The EL100C supports multimode fiber with up to 2km reach. Both use SC connectors and provide 10/100 Mbps copper Ethernet to 100 Mbps fiber conversion.

Does the EL100C-20 require an SFP module?
No. Its optics and SC connections are built in. Use a compatible 100BASE-FX single-mode device at the other end.

Is the power adapter included?
Yes. A 12VDC external power adapter is included. The optional EMC1600 rack is sold separately.
