The Moxa PTC-101 Series consists of rugged Ethernet-to-fiber media converters designed to meet the demanding requirements of industrial and power substation applications. Fully compliant with IEC 61850-3, these converters ensure reliable communication under extreme temperatures, electrical noise, and mechanical stress. They convert 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet to 100BaseFX fiber and are available with SC, ST, or LC connectors in both multi-mode and single-mode variants.

With features like Link Fault Pass-Through (LFPT), relay output for power failure (LV models only), and built-in high-reliability power supply, the PTC-101 converters eliminate the need for external transformers and enhance system resilience.
