The Alloy FCR200SC.20 is a high-performance Fast Ethernet media converter designed to bridge copper and singlemode fibre networks seamlessly. Operating at speeds of 10/100 Mbps, it features an auto-sensing RJ-45 10/100Base-TX copper port and a 100Base-FX singlemode SC fibre port that supports distances up to 20 kilometres using a 1300 nm wavelength. This dual-purpose device can function as a standalone unit powered via an external 5V DC plugpack or USB, or be installed as a modular converter within the Alloy DCR12 Series 12-slot Media Converter Chassis.

Key highlights include advanced Link Fault PassThrough (LFP) capabilities with Far-end-Fault (FEF) and Forced Mode (FM) options, ensuring enhanced network reliability by synchronizing link fault signals between copper and fibre interfaces. The RJ-45 port supports automatic MDI/MDIX crossover detection and speed/duplex auto-negotiation, simplifying integration into existing Fast Ethernet infrastructures.

Encased in a compact, rugged all-metal chassis, the FCR200SC.20 offers comprehensive LED status indicators for real-time device monitoring. Its flexible operation modes and reliability features make it ideal for telecommunications, enterprise networks, and industrial Ethernet applications requiring media conversion between copper and long-distance singlemode fibre links.
