Overview
- The Alloy FCR200SC is a versatile Fast Ethernet media converter engineered for organisations needing to bridge copper and fibre network segments. It delivers reliable conversion between 10/100Base-TX copper and 100Base-FX multimode fibre, extending network reach to 2 km whilst maintaining full Ethernet performance.
This dual-purpose converter operates as a standalone device or integrates seamlessly into Alloy DCR12 Series Media Converter Chassis systems, making it ideal for both small deployments and large-scale network infrastructure. The auto-sensing RJ-45 port handles both 10 and 100 Mbps speeds automatically, eliminating manual configuration.
Built with Link Fault Passthrough (LFP) support in both Forced and Far-end Fault modes, the FCR200SC ensures network resilience by detecting and signalling faults across the conversion boundary. Its rugged metal construction and flexible power options (external plugpack or USB) make it suitable for diverse network environments.

FAQs
What is the maximum distance the FCR200SC can transmit fibre signals?
The FCR200SC supports multimode fibre transmission over distances up to 2 km, whilst the copper RJ-45 connection is limited to 100 metres.
Can the FCR200SC be used in a chassis system?
Yes. The FCR200SC is designed as a dual-purpose converter and can be installed as a hot-swappable module into any Alloy DCR12 Series 12-slot Media Converter Chassis.
Does the FCR200SC support Link Fault Passthrough?
Yes. The FCR200SC supports Link Fault Passthrough (LFP) in both Forced and Far-end Fault modes, enabling fault detection across the copper-to-fibre boundary.
What speeds does the FCR200SC support?
The FCR200SC supports both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps speeds with auto-sensing capability on the RJ-45 copper port, requiring no manual configuration.
How is the FCR200SC powered?
The FCR200SC can be powered via an external plugpack or USB connection, providing flexibility for various installation environments.
What types of fibre connectors does the FCR200SC use?
The FCR200SC uses SC connectors for the multimode fibre connection. Other Alloy FCR200 Series models support LC, ST, and MT-RJ connectors.
Is the FCR200SC suitable for standalone installation?
Yes. The FCR200SC is fully functional as a standalone device with its own compact, rugged all-metal case and can be deployed independently of a chassis system.
