Netwerk-mediaconverter EFB Elektronik MCT-3002BTFC-SM10

The EFB Elektronik MCT-3002BTFC-SM10 is a compact network media converter that converts Gigabit Ethernet over RJ45 to singlemode fiber via SC connectors. It supports IEEE 802.3 standards and offers a maximum data transfer rate of 1000 Mbit/s. The unit comes in a metal housing with diagnostic LEDs, link alarm and external power supply included. Its small dimensions (74 x 51 x 20 mm) and compatibility with mounting options such as MCT-RACK-18-2A and MCT-RACK-18-MGM-2A make it suitable for space-constrained installations.

Advantages

The converter provides reliable Gigabit Ethernet to SC singlemode fiber conversion with frame checking and error filtering to improve link stability. A 128 KB buffer helps manage traffic bursts, while diagnostic LEDs and a link alarm enable easy status monitoring and fault detection. The metal housing ensures mechanical robustness and heat dissipation, and the included external power supply simplifies installation.

Suitable for

• Extending Ethernet networks over singlemode fiber links
• Connection between copper RJ45 devices and SC fiber infrastructure
• Network segments requiring Gigabit throughput and IEEE 802.3 compliance

How to use

Mount the media converter in a suitable location or compatible rack mount, connect the Gigabit Ethernet device to the RJ45 port and the singlemode fiber to the SC connector. Attach the external power supply to a 100–240 V outlet and connect its 3.3 V output to the converter. Observe the diagnostic LEDs and link alarm to verify link status and troubleshoot any faults. Use standard network configuration tools on connected equipment to configure IP and other network settings as required.

Recommendations

For stable long-term operation, install the converter in a ventilated environment, avoid exposure to moisture and strong vibrations, and use quality singlemode fiber and connectors matched to the SC interface. Regularly check LEDs and link alarm to detect and address layer-1 issues promptly.
