The Moxa IMC-21A-S-SC-T is a robust, entry-level industrial media converter designed to seamlessly bridge 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet connections to 100BaseFX single-mode fibre optic networks. Engineered for reliability in harsh industrial environments, this model features a rugged IP30-rated metal housing and a compact, DIN-rail mountable design, making it simple to integrate into crowded distribution boxes and control panels. Its primary function is to extend communication links over long distances, far exceeding the limitations of traditional copper cabling, ensuring stable and secure data transmission.
A key feature of the IMC-21A-S-SC-T is its exceptional operational resilience, highlighted by a wide operating temperature range of -40 to 75°C. This makes it an ideal solution for deployment in extreme conditions, from freezing outdoor cabinets to high-temperature industrial settings. The converter includes advanced features like Link Fault Pass-Through (LFPT), which aids in quick network troubleshooting by immediately signalling link failures to connected devices, minimising downtime and simplifying maintenance tasks.
Configuration is made straightforward through DIP switches, allowing network administrators to manually set parameters such as full/half-duplex mode, speed, and auto/force negotiation for both the copper and fibre ports. This flexibility ensures compatibility with a wide array of industrial equipment. Power input is a versatile 12 to 48VDC, with built-in overload current and reverse polarity protection, safeguarding the device against common power supply issues and enhancing its long-term reliability in demanding applications.
The IMC-21A-S-SC-T is equipped with a single-mode SC fibre connector capable of extending network reach up to 40km. With its built-in 1.5kV magnetic isolation protection on the RJ45 port and a high Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 353,000 hours, this media converter is built for longevity and dependable performance. It's the perfect choice for creating reliable, long-distance network extensions in critical industrial infrastructure.
