The IMC-21GA Series industrial media converters are reliable, entry-level solutions for converting Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000BaseT(X)) to fiber optics via 100/1000Base-SX/LX or SFP module. Supporting Energy-Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) and 10K jumbo frames, these converters offer power savings and high transmission performance. Each unit undergoes a 100% burn-in test to ensure durability in demanding applications.

The Link Fault Pass-Through (LFPT) feature enhances network reliability by detecting and propagating link faults. With redundant power inputs and a wide operating temperature range (-40 to 75°C for T models), the converters are well-suited for industrial use. The robust metal housing and compact DIN-rail mount design enable easy integration into control panels and cabinets.
