ZyXEL MC100FX-SC Series media converter is designed to convert the speed and media type (from 10/100TX to 100FX (SC) for distant connectivity (from 2km to 30km) depending on models.
System Specification :Standard Compliance
- IEEE802.3 10BASE-T
- IEEE802.3u 100BASE-TX/FX
- IEEE802.3x Flow Control and Back pressure
Transparent Packet
- 64 to 1518 Bytes for Non-VLAN Ethernet packet
- 68 to 1522 Bytes for VLAN-Tag type Ethernet packet
Link Fault Signaling
- TX to Fiber: If TX port link down, then converter will forced fiber to link down.
Fiber to TX: If Fiber port link down, the media converter will forced TX port to link down.

Key features:- Converts Speed and Media Type
- Extends Network Span up to 2km/30km
- Auto-negotiating on RJ-45 Port
- Auto-crossover on RJ-45 Port
- Transparent to 802.1Q VLAN packets
- Link Fault Signaling (LFS) Notifying Down Link to Peer
- Multiple Configurations by DIP Switch
- LED Status Display
Key benefit:Extend the Network Span
MC100FX-SC series equips with one 100FX fiber port and one 10/100TX copper port for speed and media converting. The 100FX fiber port, featured with SC type connector, can extend network span up to 30km maximally.
MC100FX-SC30-A
SC type connector and single-mode fiber transceiver module built-in, capable of extending network span up to 30km
MC100FX-SC2-A
SC type connector and multi-mode fiber transceiver module built-in, capable of extending network span up to 2km
Transparent to 802.1Q VLAN Packets
MC100FX-SC series media converter can identify 802.1Q VLAN packets and won't discard them that ensure that Virtual LANs (VLANs) operation across media converter.
Easy Installation
With Auto-negotiating, 10/100TX copper port can do auto-negotiation for synchronizing transmission speed and mode with peer device. In addition, Auto-crossover on 10/100TX copper port can eliminate problem of circuits missed match by auto-sensing MDI/MDIX function. Both features make installation easier complete. In the meanwhile, multiple configurations can be done via dip switch that empowers management capability toward users intending to gain more control on devices,
Easy Troubleshooting
With Link Fault Signaling mechanism, when one link down detected on the 10/100 copper port will force a link down on the fiber port, and vice versa. The copper downlink port will stop transmitting and turning off as soon as the remote link is down so that the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) of the connected switch will be functioning. Transparent link status is delivered by Link Fault Signaling mechanism which made network recovery and troubleshooting easier and faster.
