EL8100-41E Industrial Fiber Media Converter (SC) 2km

EL8100-41E Hardened Gigabit Fiber Media Converter

10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet to 1 Gbps multimode fiber, SC connectors, up to 2km.

Operating temperature: −40 to 75°C (−40 to 167°F).

The EtherWAN EL8100-41E extends copper Ethernet connections over multimode gigabit fiber for industrial networks. Its fixed 1310nm fiber interface connects equipment across facilities and remote installations without requiring a separate SFP module.

Built for harsh environments, it combines a compact aluminum enclosure with redundant power inputs, fault monitoring, and DIN-rail mounting.

Key Features

• Gigabit fiber connectivity: Multimode SC interface supports links up to 2km, subject to the link’s optical losses.
• Flexible copper connection: One RJ45 port supports 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet.
• Hardened operation: Rated from −40 to 75°C (−40 to 167°F), with resistance to shock, vibration, and electrical noise.
• Link Fault Pass Through: Passes a link failure through the connection so connected equipment can detect the interruption.
• Power and link alarms: DIP switches configure alarm monitoring for copper and fiber links.
• Redundant power inputs: Supports two DC power sources through the terminal block.
• Jumbo frame support: Handles frames up to 10K bytes.
• Protected power input: Overload current and reverse polarity protection.
• Compact installation: Aluminum IP30 enclosure for DIN-rail mounting.

Applications

• Gigabit connections between industrial equipment rooms.
• Multimode fiber links across manufacturing facilities.
• Connecting surveillance equipment through compatible fiber networks.
• Transportation and utility installations requiring hardened Ethernet connectivity.

Common Questions

Does this media converter require an SFP module?
No. The EL8100-41E has a fixed multimode SC fiber interface. A separate SFP module is not required.

Can it be installed outdoors?
It can operate inside a suitable protective outdoor cabinet. Its IP30 housing requires protection from rain and moisture.

Is a power supply included?
No. Use a compatible external DC power supply, such as either option below.
