Network Media Converter ALLNET ALL-MC106-SC-SM

The ALLNET ALL-MC106-SC-SM is a single-mode network media converter designed to bridge Fast Ethernet copper and single-mode fiber links. Supporting IEEE 802.3 standards, this compact black device provides one RJ-45 Fast Ethernet port and one SC fiber port for 10/100 Mbit/s operation. With a maximum fiber reach of up to 20,000 m and an operating wavelength of 1310 nm, it enables long-distance wired connections while consuming only 2.5 W and offering LED indicators for link, power and speed status.

Advantages

The media converter supports both 10 and 100 Mbit/s Ethernet data rates and complies with common IEEE 802.3 specifications, allowing straightforward integration into existing networks. Its SC fiber connector and single-mode design provide reliable long-range transmission up to 20 km. Low power consumption and simple LED status indicators make monitoring and operation easy without additional equipment. The compact, lightweight black housing simplifies mounting in constrained spaces.

Suitable for

• Extending a Fast Ethernet network over long distances via single-mode fiber
• Connecting isolated network segments between buildings or sites
• Upgrading copper links to fiber where electromagnetic isolation or distance is required
• Small office, retail or industrial network devices requiring a single fiber link

How to use

Install the ALLNET ALL-MC106-SC-SM by connecting the RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the Fast Ethernet port and the single-mode fiber to the SC connector. Apply appropriate power and observe the LED indicators to confirm power, link and speed status. Configure connected network devices for the required 10/100 Mbit/s operation and duplex settings if necessary. Place the converter in a dry, dust-free environment and follow site grounding and cable management best practices to maintain link stability.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber of suitable quality and ensure clean SC connectors to maintain signal integrity over long distances. Verify fiber link budget and wavelength compatibility (1310 nm) with other fiber equipment. For reliable operation, avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures, provide adequate ventilation, and periodically inspect connectors and cables.
