PLANET IFT-802TS15 hálózati médiakonverter

The PLANET IFT-802TS15 is an industrial 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX media converter designed to extend Ethernet networks over single-mode fiber up to 15 km. Housed in a durable metal case with IP30 protection, it supports 10/100 Mbps copper connections on an RJ-45 port and a 100Base-FX fiber port with SC connector. The device operates from 12–48 V DC, consumes about 3 W, and is built to withstand electrically noisy and climatically demanding environments, making it suitable for industrial network extension and traffic control installations.

Advantages

The IFT-802TS15 provides stable fiber connectivity and reliable data conversion between copper and single-mode fiber at Fast Ethernet speeds. Its industrial-grade housing and components increase immunity to electromagnetic interference and electrical surges. Compact IP-30 construction supports DIN-rail or panel mounting to save cabinet space, while the wide voltage input and low power consumption enable flexible deployment in remote or constrained power environments.

Suitable for

• Extending Ethernet networks up to 15 km over single-mode fiber
• Industrial automation and factory floor networking
• Traffic control cabinets and roadside network links
• Network segments requiring immunity to EMI and electrical surges
• Environments needing DIN-rail or panel-mounted compact equipment

How to use

Mount the IFT-802TS15 on a DIN rail or panel and connect a 10/100Base-TX Ethernet device to the RJ-45 port. Connect the single-mode fiber cable to the SC fiber port and ensure proper fiber polarity. Apply a suitable 12–48 V DC power source to the power input, observing polarity if a single input is used; for higher availability, provide dual-redundant power inputs. After power-up, verify link LEDs to confirm successful copper-to-fiber conversion and normal operation.

Recommendations

For reliable long-distance links, use single-mode fiber with low-loss connectors and verify optical budget for 15 km. Install the converter in a ventilated, moderate-temperature enclosure within the -40 to 75 °C operational range, and provide surge protection where high electrical transients are expected.
