The Moxa IMC-21A-S-SC is an entry-level industrial media converter engineered to provide reliable and stable 10/100BaseT(X) to 100BaseFX network conversion in harsh industrial environments. It's the perfect solution for extending your copper-based Ethernet network over long distances using single-mode fibre optic cable, reaching up to 40km. This ensures high-integrity data transmission across large facilities, campuses, or outdoor installations where standard Ethernet cables fall short.
Designed for resilience, the IMC-21A-S-SC is housed in a rugged, IP30-rated metal casing that can be easily mounted on a DIN rail or within distribution boxes. It is built to withstand demanding industrial conditions, operating reliably in temperatures from -10 to 60°C. The robust design guarantees that your critical Ethernet equipment remains connected and functional, even when faced with challenging operational environments, making it a dependable choice for factory automation and control systems.
This media converter incorporates user-friendly features for simplified network management and troubleshooting. It includes a Link Fault Pass-Through (LFPT) function, which helps system administrators to quickly identify and resolve link failures, minimising network downtime. Additionally, DIP switches on the unit allow for straightforward configuration of full/half-duplex mode, speed, and auto/force settings, providing greater control and compatibility within your existing network infrastructure.
With a flexible power input range of 12 to 48VDC and built-in protection against overload and reverse polarity, the IMC-21A-S-SC integrates seamlessly and safely into standard industrial power systems. Its combination of long-distance communication capability, rugged construction, and essential diagnostic features makes it an excellent, cost-effective choice for extending your industrial network with confidence and reliability.
