PTC-101 Series – IEC 61850-3 Compliant Ethernet-to-Fiber Media Converters

The Moxa PTC-101 Series media converters are designed for industrial environments requiring robust Ethernet-to-fiber conversion. These devices convert 10/100BaseT(X) to 100BaseFX using SC, ST, or LC fiber connectors, available in multi-mode or single-mode variants.

With full IEC 61850-3 compliance, the PTC-101 Series meets stringent industrial requirements for temperature, surge, vibration, and ESD. LV models provide redundant 20–72 VDC inputs and include a relay output for power failure alarm. Their integrated high-reliability power supply design removes the need for external transformers.
