Description
The ComNet RLMC100X is a substation-rated and industrially hardened Ethernet media converter. Designed to the requirements of IEC 61850-3, IEEE 1613 Class 2, EN50155, and NEMA TS-1/TS-2, it is intended for deployment in environments where high levels of electromagnetic noise and interference (EMI) and severe voltage transients and surges are routinely encountered, such as electrical utility substations and switchyards, heavy manufacturing facilities, trackside and roadside electronic equipment, and other difficult out-of-plant applications. The 100BASE-FX port supports conventional optical transmission media by fixed 2-fiber ST or SC optical connectors. User-selectable link fault passthrough provides remote indication of a network fault, and a summary fault alarm provides a local or remote indication via a dry contact closure in the event of loss of optical link or operating power. The 10/100BASE-TX port supports both auto-negotiation and automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover for full and half-duplex operation; manual MDI/MDI-X switching is not required.
Features
- Link Fault Pass-Through Provides a Remote Indication of a Network Fault
- 12 to 24 VDC, 48 VDC or HV AC/DC (88 to 300 VDC/85-264 VAC) Operating Power Options
