Overview
- The Alloy FCR200STR is a fibre media converter designed to seamlessly connect 10/100Base-TX copper Ethernet networks to 100Base-FX multimode fibre infrastructure. This enables Australian businesses to extend network coverage over distances up to 2km whilst maintaining data integrity and network reliability.
The converter features built-in loss-of-signal protection (LFP) that can be configured via either FEF (Far End Fault) or FM (Fibre Mode) detection methods, automatically detecting and responding to fibre link failures. This automatic failover capability helps minimise network downtime and ensures business continuity.
Ideal for organisations requiring reliable fibre connectivity between buildings, across industrial sites, or to remote locations, the FCR200STR provides a cost-effective solution for extending network infrastructure beyond standard copper cable limitations.

FAQs
What is the difference between this converter and a standard network switch?
This media converter specifically bridges copper Ethernet (10/100Base-TX) to fibre optic (100Base-FX) connections. Unlike a switch, it extends network reach over fibre distances up to 2km whilst maintaining compatibility with existing Ethernet infrastructure.
Can I use this converter with single-mode fibre?
No, the FCR200STR is designed for multimode fibre only. Using it with single-mode fibre will result in incompatibility and potential signal loss.
What does loss-of-signal protection do?
Loss-of-signal protection (LFP) automatically detects fibre link failures via FEF or FM detection methods and can trigger failover actions, helping minimise network downtime if the fibre connection is interrupted.
Do I need converters on both ends of the fibre link?
Yes, typically you'll need converters at both ends—one to convert copper to fibre at the source and another to convert fibre back to copper at the destination.
What is the warranty on this product?
The Alloy FCR200STR comes with a standard 3-year (36-month) manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
Is this suitable for outdoor installation?
The FCR200STR is primarily designed for indoor or protected environments. For outdoor installations, consult with our technical team regarding environmental protection requirements.
