Reliable Fiber-to-Copper Media Conversion for Long-Distance Networks

The NETSTAR NS-MCFE-SF20-SC13T is a high-performance media converter designed to convert 100Base-FX fiber to 100Base-TX copper media or vice versa. Specifically engineered for use with single mode single fiber cable utilizing the SC type connector, this converter supports distances of up to 20 kilometers, making it the ideal solution for connecting remote locations, extending network reach, and deploying Ethernet services over long-haul fiber infrastructure.

Single Fiber Technology for Cost-Effective Deployments

The NETSTAR NS-MCFE-SF20-SC13T utilizes single fiber technology, allowing bidirectional communication over a single fiber strand using different wavelengths. This significantly reduces fiber infrastructure costs compared to dual-fiber solutions, making it an economical choice for service providers and enterprise networks.

Two Models Available for Different Fiber Networks:

• NS-MCFE-SF20-SC13T: Tx: 1310nm, Rx: 1550nm

• NS-MCFE-SF20-SC15T: Tx: 1550nm, Rx: 1310nm

Select the appropriate model based on your existing fiber network infrastructure to ensure seamless compatibility.

Advanced Features for Professional Deployments

The NETSTAR NS-MCFE-SF20-SC13T supports a variety of advanced features, giving service providers the power to quickly and profitably deploy Ethernet services:

• LFP (Link Fault Pass-Through): Allows fiber failure to be propagated to the copper port, enabling network administrators to quickly identify and troubleshoot link issues. This feature can be enabled or disabled via DIP switch.

• Flexible Configuration: DIP switch settings allow you to configure Auto-Negotiation (Enable/Disable), Speed (10/100Mbps), and Duplex Mode (Half/Full) to adapt to different connectivity needs.

Versatile Connectivity Options

The NETSTAR NS-MCFE-SF20-SC13T features:

• Copper Ethernet Port: 10/100BASE-T shielded RJ-45 port with Auto MDI/MDIX support, eliminating the need for crossover cables.

• Fiber Optic Port: 100BASE-FX SC type connector for single mode single fiber connectivity up to 20Km.

• DIP Switch Configuration: Easy configuration for Link Fault Pass-Through, Auto-Negotiation, Speed, and Duplex Mode.

• Link, Activity & Speed LED Indications: Clear visual status for easy monitoring and troubleshooting.

Plug-and-Play Simplicity

Setting up the NETSTAR NS-MCFE-SF20-SC13T is incredibly easy—simply plug it in and it works. The converter automatically detects and adapts to your network configuration, making it accessible for users of all technical skill levels. Enterprise customers can leverage existing Ethernet infrastructure for long-haul connects without complex configuration.
