Schmidt Electronics Ethernet Media Converters

Schmidt Electronics Ethernet Media Converters are designed for operation in harsh industrial or outdoor environments. Housed in small rugged multipurpose enclosures that can be DIN-rail or wall-mounted, the converters are suitable for IP surveillance, traffic monitoring and security applications in space-constrained critical environments.

The media converters support both switch mode and converter mode operation, with link fault pass through (LFP) and far-end fault functions on the fibre (FX) port and transient suppression on the RJ45 (TX) port. They can tolerate operating temperatures from -40 to +75°C to maintain network connections in harsh environments.

The media converters can be powered from an AC or DC power source. Screw terminals are provided, allowing 18 V–36 VAC or 12 V–60 VDC to be connected directly to the unit.
