The StarTech MCM110SC2 is a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet-to-multimode-fiber media converter for connecting copper Ethernet equipment to SC duplex fiber over distances up to 2 km, making it suitable for small business or legacy network links that need Fast Ethernet rather than gigabit speeds.
Recommended For
- Network installers extending a 10/100 Ethernet connection between buildings on the same campus over existing multimode fiber with duplex SC connectors, for runs up to 2 km.
- IT teams connecting a remote 10/100 Ethernet subnet to a fiber backbone when the installed link is multimode SC and the network does not require gigabit speeds.
- Teams maintaining legacy Fast Ethernet equipment that needs copper-to-fiber conversion while passing VLAN-tagged traffic across the link.
- Installers setting up a straightforward point-to-point fiber extension who can use the included AC adapter and check link status with the unit’s LEDs.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- To connect two buildings on a campus, install a matching converter at each end of existing SC multimode fiber; the link carries 10/100 Ethernet between the buildings over distances up to 2 km.
- When a remote office, garage, or other outbuilding needs a wired network connection beyond a practical copper run, use a pair of converters over compatible multimode fiber; the far end can connect to a local switch or router, which needs its own power.
- To connect an existing 10/100 Ethernet switch or device to a multimode fiber backbone, place the converter between the copper Ethernet port and the SC fiber link; it provides a straightforward way to extend the network without replacing that endpoint with fiber-capable hardware.
- Where a network link must carry tagged VLAN traffic across an existing fiber run, use the converter as a transparent copper-to-fiber bridge; supported 802.1Q and Q-in-Q tags can pass through without the converter acting as a VLAN switch.
