IFS Line / Network Transmission
MC251-4P/1S
MC250-4T/2S
4-Port Ethernet to SFP Industrial
Media Converters
OVERVIEW
IFS Ethernet to SFP Industrial Media Converters offer four
10/100Mbps Ethernet ports and 100Base-FX transmission on
either multi-mode or single mode optical utilizing SFP technology.
Specifically designed for stable and reliable operation in electrically
harsh and climatically demanding environments, the module’s slim,
IP-30 standard metal case accommodates DIN-rail or wall mounting
for efficient installation in multiple applications.
These converters are engineered with a high-performance switch
architecture capable of providing a non-blocking switch fabric and
wire-speed throughput as high as 1Gbps or 1.2Gbps. With the 2K
MAC address table, these media converters offer wire-speed packet
transfer performance without the risk of packet loss. The Flow
Control function allows these modules to deliver fast and reliable
data transfer. The MC251-4P/1S model provides full IEEE802.3-af
(15.4w) on each individual 4 ports, while the MC250-4T/2S model is
a non-PoE unit designed for drop-and-repeat applications.
Providing extended distance Ethernet transmission, these units are
well suited for remotely deployed edge devices such as IP cameras,
access control, VoIP and wireless access points.
