Overview
- The Alloy FCR200SC.20 is a Fast Ethernet media converter designed to bridge copper and fibre networks seamlessly. It converts 10/100Base-TX Ethernet signals to 100Base-FX singlemode fibre, supporting distances up to 20 kilometres—ideal for extending network reach beyond traditional copper limitations.
This converter offers operational flexibility: deploy as a standalone unit for immediate use, or integrate it into an Alloy DCR12 Series chassis for centralised management in larger installations. The auto-sensing RJ-45 port accommodates both 10Mbps and 100Mbps connections, while the SC-terminated singlemode port operates at 1300nm wavelength.
With Link Fault Passthrough capability and hot-swap installation, the FCR200SC.20 minimises downtime during network maintenance. Its rugged metal construction and flexible power options (external plugpack or USB) make it suitable for diverse network environments, from small branch offices to large enterprise deployments.

FAQs
What is the maximum distance this media converter can support?
The FCR200SC.20 supports up to 100 metres on the copper (RJ-45) side and up to 20 kilometres on the fibre (SC) side, depending on cable quality and environmental conditions.
Can the FCR200SC.20 operate standalone or does it require a chassis?
It is a dual-purpose converter. It operates as a standalone discrete device with its own power supply, or can be installed as a module into an Alloy DCR12 Series 12-slot Media Converter Chassis for centralised deployment.
What wavelength does this converter use?
The FCR200SC.20 operates at 1300nm wavelength. Alloy also offers 1550nm models for alternative applications.
What is Link Fault Passthrough and does this converter support it?
Link Fault Passthrough (LFP) detects faults on one side of the connection and signals the other side, enabling faster network recovery. The FCR200SC.20 supports LFP via Forced and Far-end Fault modes (FEF/FM).
How is the FCR200SC.20 powered?
The converter can be powered via an external plugpack or USB connection, providing flexible installation options for various network environments.
Is installation disruptive if I use the DCR12 chassis?
No. The FCR200SC.20 supports hot-swap installation, allowing you to slide it in or out of the DCR12 chassis without interrupting other modules or requiring system shutdown.
What warranty is included?
The FCR200SC.20 includes a 36-month manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
