EL100C-40 Commercial Fiber Media Converter (SC) 40km

EL100C-40 Ethernet to Single-Mode Fiber Media Converter

10/100 Mbps Ethernet to 100 Mbps single-mode fiber with SC connectors and up to 40km reach.

Commercial operation from 0 to 45°C (32 to 113°F).

The EtherWAN EL100C-40 connects copper Ethernet equipment to a single-mode fiber network. It combines one RJ45 Ethernet port with a built-in SC fiber port operating at 1310nm, extending Fast Ethernet connections over longer distances.

Its plug-and-play design simplifies installation in commercial networks. DIP switches allow you to enable Link Fault Pass Through (LFPT), select store-and-forward or converter mode, and configure duplex settings.

Key Features

• Fast Ethernet connectivity: One 10/100 Mbps RJ45 port and one 100 Mbps SC fiber port.
• 40km single-mode reach: Supports compatible fiber links up to 40km, subject to the link’s optical losses.
• Built-in fiber optics: Fixed 1310nm SC interface, with no separate SFP module required.
• Link fault detection: Selectable LFPT helps connected equipment detect a failed link.
• Selectable operating modes: Choose store-and-forward or converter mode using DIP switches.
• Configurable duplex settings: Supports full-duplex or half-duplex settings for the copper and fiber ports.
• Automatic cable detection: Auto MDI/MDIX supports straight-through or crossover Ethernet cables.
• Commercial operation: Rated from 0 to 45°C (32 to 113°F).
• Flexible installation: Compact aluminum housing supports wall mounting or an optional EMC1600 chassis.
• Included power adapter: Supplied with a 12VDC power adapter.

Applications

• Longer-distance Fast Ethernet connections between buildings.
• Connecting remote network equipment over existing single-mode fiber.
• Fiber links for IP surveillance networks using compatible 100 Mbps equipment.
• Commercial and campus networks requiring Ethernet-to-fiber conversion.

Common Questions

How does the EL100C-40 differ from the EL100C-20?
Both support 10/100 Mbps copper Ethernet and 100 Mbps single-mode fiber with SC connectors. The EL100C-40 offers up to 40km reach, while the EL100C-20 offers up to 20km. Match the converter to your link’s distance and optical requirements.

Does this converter support Gigabit Ethernet?
No. Its copper port supports 10/100 Mbps, and its fiber port operates at 100 Mbps. Choose a Gigabit media converter if your connection requires 1 Gbps.

Is the power adapter included?
Yes. A 12VDC power adapter is included for standalone operation.
