The Moxa PTC-101 Series is a line of robust Ethernet-to-fiber media converters designed to meet the demanding requirements of IEC 61850-3 environments. These converters support 10/100BaseT(X) to 100BaseFX conversion and are available with SC, ST, or LC connectors. They eliminate the need for external power supplies thanks to an integrated high-reliability power system. With features like Link Fault Pass-Through (LFPT), power failure relay output (LV models), and redundant DC input, the PTC-101 Series is ideal for substations, smart grid, and industrial automation networks.
