The PTC-101 Series media converters from Moxa enable reliable conversion from 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet to 100BaseFX fiber – optimized for industrial applications and substations compliant with IEC 61850-3. Built to withstand harsh environments, these converters offer SC, ST, or LC connector options with multi-mode or single-mode fiber support.

Features like Link Fault Pass-Through (LFPT), auto MDI/MDI-X detection, and an integrated high-reliability power supply eliminate the need for an external transformer. LV models offer redundant DC power inputs and a relay output for power failure alarms, ensuring high availability and robustness in critical network infrastructures.
