The PTC-101 Series media converters from Moxa are designed to convert 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet to 100BaseFX fiber optics, offering robust performance for industrial environments that demand IEC 61850-3 compliance. These devices are ideal for substations, process automation, and mission-critical networks.

Supporting auto-negotiation, auto-MDI/MDI-X, and Link Fault Pass-Through (LFPT), the PTC-101 converters help maintain uninterrupted communication. LV models feature redundant 20–72 VDC inputs and power failure alarm relays. HV models support wide-range AC/DC inputs (100–240 VAC/VDC) and feature an integrated power supply, eliminating the need for external transformers.
