Industrial fiber-to-copper converter

The StarTech.com IMC100MSFP converts 100 Mbps fiber signals to RJ45 copper Ethernet. An open SFP slot accepts standard modules at 850nm or 1310nm wavelengths for single-mode or multimode fiber. It targets industrial integrators needing hardened connectivity in transport, energy or automation environments.

Terminal block and barrel adapter included

The package supplies a terminal block plus a terminal-block-to-barrel adapter, giving installers a choice of 18-36V AC or 12-56V DC sources such as solar, vehicle or rail supplies. A mounting hardware kit and quick-start guide enable DIN-rail or wall installation without extra procurement.

100 Mbps ceiling and 100-metre reach

The converter tops out at 10/100 Mbps, so gigabit backbone links cannot be carried. Maximum fiber distance is 100 m (328 ft), limiting campus or metro spans. Operating range spans -40°C to 75°C with an MTBF of 500000+ hours at 50°C, but buyers needing higher throughput or longer reach must specify different hardware.

Questions about this item

How often will the SFP module need to be replaced in this converter?

The converter has an open SFP slot accepting any standard module, so replacement timing depends on the specific transceiver you choose rather than the converter itself.

What limits throughput when the IMC100MSFP runs continuously at full load?

The 10/100 Mbps transfer rate caps sustained throughput, and the 16K jumbo frame buffer is the next constraint on large packet handling.

How much heat does the IMC100MSFP produce when powered 24/7 from a 24 V DC source?

The hardened design operates from -40 °C to 75 °C with no fan, relying on its IP-30 aluminium housing to dissipate heat silently within that range.
