The PTC-101 Series from Moxa are rugged media converters that reliably convert 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet signals to 100BaseFX fiber – ideal for power substations and other harsh industrial environments compliant with IEC 61850-3. Models come with SC, ST, or LC connectors and support both multi-mode and single-mode fiber.

Key features include Link Fault Pass-Through (LFPT), redundant DC inputs (LV models), and relay output for power failure alarm, ensuring robust system availability. With a wide operating temperature of -40 to +85°C, metal housing, and DIN-rail mounting support, the PTC-101 Series is built for durability and reliability.
