Transition M/E-ISW-FX-01 Media Converter ST 100BTX-mountable Rail-2km

Product Description

The M/E-ISW-FX-01 is an industrial-grade Ethernet switch that incorporates media conversion functionality, bridging the gap between copper (100Base-TX) and fiber optic (100Base-FX) networks. Designed for harsh environments, it offers robust performance and reliability in applications such as factory automation, transportation systems, and utility infrastructure. Its compact form factor and DIN rail mounting capability allow for easy integration into industrial control cabinets. The switch features a standard RJ-45 port for connecting to copper Ethernet devices and an ST fiber optic port for extending network reach over longer distances or in environments with high electromagnetic interference. The fiber optic port supports 100Base-FX, typically over multimode fiber, enabling transmission well beyond the 100-meter limit of copper cabling. The ST connector provides a secure and durable connection suitable for industrial settings. As an industrial switch, the M/E-ISW-FX-01 likely includes features such as wide operating temperature ranges, high vibration and shock resistance, and redundant power inputs. Its integrated media conversion capability simplifies network design by combining the functions of a switch and a converter into a single ruggedized unit. This makes it an ideal solution for extending Ethernet connectivity to remote or challenging locations within an industrial network.
