The Moxa PTC-101-S-SC-HV is an industrial media converter designed specifically for use in power supply networks, enclosures, and substations. It complies with the IEC 61850-3 standard and is used to convert 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet signals over copper cables into 100BaseFX fiber optic signals. The device is equipped with an SC connector for single-mode fiber optic, enabling transmission over distances up to 40 km. The integrated power supply reduces the need for additional power adapters and ensures reliable operational safety.

Applications

The converter is designed for industrial environments, particularly in power supply technology, where high reliability and operational safety are required. It is suitable for use in substations where the IEC 61850-3 standard applies, and is designed for operation in enclosures and substations. The robust construction and wide operating temperature range of -40 to 85 °C make it suitable for harsh environments.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The device features an RJ45 interface for 10/100BaseT(X) and a 100BaseFX interface with an SC connector for single-mode fiber optic. The Link Fault Pass-Through (LFPT) function ensures that in the event of a fiber optic connection failure, the copper side connection is also interrupted, enabling early detection of network issues. The integrated high-performance power supply supports a voltage of 100–240 VAC/VDC (85–264 VAC, 88–300 VDC) and provides overcurrent protection. The housing is made of metal and designed for mounting on a DIN rail.

Technology Explained Simply

The converter converts Ethernet signals from copper cables (RJ45) into fiber optic signals, enabling transmission over longer distances and in electromagnetically disturbed environments. The single-mode fiber optic with a 1310 nm wavelength allows a range of up to 40 km. The TX power is 0 to -5 dBm, the RX sensitivity is -34 dBm, resulting in a link budget of 29 dB. The saturation point is at -3 dBm, indicating the maximum input power at which the device still functions correctly. The integrated power supply ensures independent power supply without additional power adapters.

Compatibility and Accessories

The converter is compatible with single-mode fiber optic cables with SC connectors and a 1310 nm wavelength. It can be used in existing networks supporting 10/100BaseT(X) and 100BaseFX. Use in substations is ensured by compliance with IEC 61850-3. The PTC-101 series models are available in various variants differing in power supply (LV vs. HV) and fiber optic connector (SC, ST, LC).

Mounting and Installation

Mounting is done via a DIN rail, enabling easy installation in enclosures. The quick installation guide included in the delivery supports the installation. The devices are designed for use in harsh environments and require no special tools for installation.

Operational Advantages

The converter offers high operational reliability due to the integrated power supply and wide operating temperature range. The LFPT function improves network monitoring, and the robust metal housing construction protects against mechanical and electromagnetic influences. Compliance with IEC 61850-3 makes it suitable for use in power supply networks. The 5-year manufacturer's warranty underscores the reliability of the device.

Certifications and Environmental Conditions

The device complies with safety standards EN/UL 62368-1 and UL 60950-1, as well as EMC standards EN 55032/35, FCC Part 15B, and CISPR 32. It is also certified for electromagnetic immunity according to IEC 61000-4-2 to -4-11. Environmental tests according to IEC 60068-2-1/-2-14/-2-3 and vibration tests according to IEC 60068-2-6 guarantee reliability under harsh conditions. The operating temperature ranges from -40 to 85 °C, and humidity from 5 to 95 % (non-condensing). The MTBF is 4,660,534 hours according to Telcordia SR332.
