Reliable 10/100Mbps Copper-to-Fiber Conversion
The MF7275-2 Industrial Media Converter provides a simple and reliable way to connect 10/100Mbps Ethernet equipment to a single-mode fiber optic network. The RJ45 copper port automatically negotiates the connected Ethernet speed, while the 100Mbps fiber port provides a long-distance optical connection over single-mode fiber.
The MF727x platform uses a non-blocking store-and-forward switching architecture with a 0.4Gbps switching capacity and a 2K MAC address table. It supports a maximum frame size of 1536 bytes and provides IEEE 802.3x pause-frame flow control for full-duplex operation and back-pressure for half-duplex operation.
20km Single-Mode Fiber Connectivity
The MF7275-2 is specifically configured with a single-mode SC fiber port supporting transmission distances up to 20km. The VERSITRON MF727x datasheet identifies the MF7275-2 as the single-mode SC model with a 1310nm wavelength and 20km fiber reach.
This makes the converter useful for extending Ethernet connections between locations where copper cabling cannot provide the required distance or where fiber's immunity to electromagnetic interference provides an important advantage.
Built for Industrial Network Environments
The MF7275-2 is designed for reliable operation in industrial environments where temperature, electrical noise, and network uptime can be concerns.
The converter features:
- Dual 9–52VDC power inputs with auto-sensing
- 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
The redundant DC power inputs provide an additional layer of reliability for installations where maintaining network connectivity is important.
Easy Ethernet Integration
The MF7275-2's copper RJ45 interface supports 10/100Mbps auto-negotiation and auto MDI/MDI-X, allowing the converter to automatically adapt to the connected Ethernet device and simplifying installation. It supports both full- and half-duplex operation.
LED indicators provide local status information for power, copper link/activity, and fiber link/activity, helping technicians quickly identify connection status during installation and troubleshooting.
Typical Applications
The MF7275-2 is well suited for applications requiring reliable 10/100Mbps Ethernet connectivity over single-mode fiber, including:
- Industrial Automation – Connect PLCs, controllers, and industrial Ethernet equipment over fiber.
- IP Surveillance Networks – Extend connections between network cameras and centralized network equipment.
