10/100TX-FX Industrial Media Converter | 1-Fast Ethernet RJ45 Port, 1-SC Fiber Port, MM

Reliable 10/100Mbps Copper-to-Fiber Conversion

The MF7274 Industrial Media Converter provides a straightforward way to connect 10/100Mbps Ethernet equipment to a multimode fiber optic network. Its RJ45 copper port supports 10/100Mbps Ethernet, while the 100Mbps fiber interface provides reliable communication over multimode fiber.

The converter uses a non-blocking store-and-forward switching architecture with a 0.4Gbps switching capacity and a 2K MAC address table. It supports frame sizes up to 1536 bytes and provides IEEE 802.3x pause-frame flow control for full-duplex operation and back-pressure for half-duplex operation.

2km Multimode Fiber Connectivity

The MF7274 is configured with a 100Mbps multimode fiber port and SC connector, providing a fiber transmission distance of up to 2 kilometers. The VERSITRON MF727x datasheet identifies the MF7274 as the MM/SC/2km model with a 1310nm optical wavelength.

Fiber optic connectivity provides an effective way to extend Ethernet beyond the practical distance limitations of copper cabling while providing immunity to electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference.

Built for Industrial Environments

The MF7274 is designed for reliable operation in demanding industrial environments. Its rugged construction and redundant power architecture provide additional protection against the conditions commonly encountered in industrial networking installations.

Key industrial features include:

• Dual 9–52VDC power inputs
• Auto-sensing DC power
• 4KV Ethernet surge protection
• IP44 metal enclosure
• DIN rail mounting
• -40°C to +80°C operating temperature
• 4W full-load power consumption
• MTBF greater than 100,000 hours
• 0–95% relative humidity, non-condensing

These features make the MF7274 particularly suitable for control cabinets, industrial communication systems, transportation infrastructure, and other installations where network equipment must operate reliably in challenging conditions.

Simple Ethernet Network Integration

The MF7274 supports 10/100Mbps auto-negotiation and auto MDI/MDI-X on its copper port. This allows the converter to automatically adapt to the connected Ethernet device and simplifies installation without requiring specialized crossover cabling. Full- and half-duplex operation are supported for flexible network integration.

LED indicators provide local visibility into power, copper link/activity, and fiber link/activity, helping technicians verify network status and troubleshoot connectivity issues.

Typical Applications

The MF7274 can be used wherever 10/100Mbps Ethernet needs to be extended over multimode fiber, including:

• Industrial Automation – Connect controllers, machinery, and Ethernet devices over fiber.
• IP Surveillance Networks – Extend network connections for IP cameras and security equipment.
• Industrial Security – Connect access control, intercom, and monitoring systems.
• Intelligent Transportation Systems – Provide reliable fiber connectivity for traffic and transportation equipment.
• Manufacturing Facilities – Connect network equipment across production areas while avoiding copper distance limitations.
• Remote Equipment Connectivity – Extend Ethernet connections to equipment located away from the main network.
• Mixed Copper and Fiber Networks – Integrate existing copper Ethernet equipment into fiber optic infrastructure.

MF727x Industrial Media Converter Family

The MF7274 is part of the VERSITRON MF727x Industrial Media Converter family, which provides multiple copper-to-fiber configurations for different fiber types, connectors, and transmission distances.

The MF727x datasheet identifies the MF7274 specifically as the multimode SC 2km configuration.

Why Choose VERSITRON?
