202MC & 202MCE Industrial Ethernet Media Converters
The 202MC and 202MCE Unmanaged Industrial Ethernet Media Converters support high speed layer 2
switching between ports.
The 202MC is a 2 port unmanaged media converter switch that has 1 RJ45 port and a multimode fiber optic
up-link port, capable of 2 Kilometers of 100 Mb communications without the use of repeaters.
The 202MCE is a 2 port unmanaged media converter that is similar to the 202MC, but with extended range.
The N-TRON 202MCE utilizes a singlemode fiber transceiver that is capable of up to 80 Kilometers of 100
Mb communications.
Both the 202MC and 202MCE utilize the IEEE compliant SC or ST duplex connector for fiber optic
communications. The 10/100Base-TX port utilizes an RJ45 shielded connector.
All N-TRON switches and media converters come housed in a steel ruggedized Din-Rail enclosure,
designed to withstand the most demanding industrial applications, and have been fully tested and certified at
industrial environmental extremes. All 200 Series units operate on 10-30VDC @ 0.2A.
