Overview
- The Alloy FCR200ST is a versatile Fast Ethernet media converter that seamlessly bridges copper and multimode fibre networks. It supports 10/100Mbps transmission over distances up to 2km on fibre, making it ideal for extending network reach beyond traditional copper cable limitations.
Designed for flexibility, the FCR200ST operates as a standalone unit or integrates into an Alloy DCR12 Series media converter chassis for centralised management and scalability. This dual-mode functionality allows IT teams to deploy the converter in various network topologies without requiring separate hardware investments.
The unit features auto-sensing intelligence on the RJ-45 port, automatically detecting 10Mbps or 100Mbps connections, and includes Link Fault Passthrough (LFP) support for network monitoring and fault detection. With external plugpack and USB power options, it offers installation flexibility in diverse network environments.

FAQs
What is the difference between the FCR200ST and other FCR200 Series models?
The FCR200ST specifically converts Fast Ethernet copper to 100Base-FX multimode fibre with ST connectors and supports up to 2km fibre range. Other FCR200 Series models support different fibre types (singlemode, WDM) and connector types (LC, SC, MT-RJ) with varying distance capabilities up to 100km.
Can the FCR200ST be used in a rack-mounted environment?
Yes. The FCR200ST operates as either a standalone device or can be installed as a module into an Alloy DCR12 Series 12-slot Media Converter Chassis for centralised rack-mounted deployments.
What power options are available for the FCR200ST?
The FCR200ST can be powered via an external plugpack or directly through a USB connection, providing flexibility for different installation scenarios and power infrastructure.
Does the FCR200ST support Link Fault Passthrough (LFP)?
Yes. The FCR200ST supports Link Fault Passthrough with both Forced and Far-end Fault modes, enabling effective network monitoring and fault detection across the converted link.
What is the maximum cable distance for copper and fibre with this converter?
The RJ-45 copper port supports up to 100 metres, while the 100Base-FX fibre port supports up to 2 kilometres with multimode fibre.
Is the FCR200ST suitable for hot-swap installation?
Yes. When installed in a DCR12 Series Media Converter Chassis, the FCR200ST supports easy slide-in, hot-swap installation, allowing module changes without powering down the entire system.
