FAQs
What is the maximum fibre distance supported by the FCR200SC.40?
The FCR200SC.40 supports single mode fibre transmission up to 40km, making it suitable for extended network distances across campuses, remote facilities, or WAN environments.
Can the FCR200SC.40 be used as a standalone converter?
Yes, the FCR200SC.40 operates as a standalone unit with external plugpack or USB power. It can also be installed into an Alloy DCR12 Series Media Converter Chassis for multi-converter deployments.
What does Link Fault Passthrough (LFP) do?
LFP detects link faults on either the copper or fibre side and passes this information through the converter, enabling faster fault detection and network troubleshooting. The FCR200SC.40 supports both Forced and Far-end Fault modes.
What fibre connectors does the FCR200SC.40 use?
The FCR200SC.40 is equipped with a single mode SC fibre connector. Other FCR200 Series models support LC, ST, and MT-RJ connectors depending on your requirements.
How is the FCR200SC.40 powered?
The converter can be powered via an external plugpack or USB connection, providing flexibility for different installation environments.
Is the FCR200SC.40 suitable for rackmount installation?
Yes, the FCR200SC.40 can be installed into an Alloy DCR12 Series Media Converter Chassis for centralised rackmount deployments, enabling hot-swap capability for easier maintenance.
What wavelength does the FCR200SC.40 operate at?
The FCR200SC.40 operates at 1300nm, which is standard for single mode fibre networks and provides optimal transmission characteristics for long-distance applications.
