Introduction

  • The IM-MC110GE is not a switch. It is an industrial-grade Gigabit fiber media converter — the most focused device in the IM series — designed to do one thing with absolute reliability: bridge a single fiber segment to a single copper endpoint in environments where commercial-grade media converters fail to survive. 
  • With 1 × Gigabit SFP fiber port and 1 × Gigabit RJ45 copper port, it extends Ethernet connectivity from a fiber backbone to any copper-interface device at distances up to 120km over single-mode fiber, without the cost, complexity, or management overhead of deploying a multi-port switch at a location that connects only one device.
  • The industrial case for a dedicated media converter rather than a small switch at single-endpoint locations is straightforward: lower component count means fewer failure points, lower power draw means longer battery or solar runtime, and a device with no switching logic, no MAC table, and no forwarding decision overhead is inherently simpler and more predictable in its behavior under fault conditions. 
  • The IM-MC110GE draws ≤5W at full load, accepts DC 12–52V wide-voltage redundant input covering vehicle, solar, automation, and telecom power standards without a dedicated converter, and delivers 6KV Ethernet surge protection, ±15KV ESD air discharge immunity, and the full IEC 61000-4 Level 3 EMC suite in a 114 × 93 × 35mm DIN-rail or wall-mount chassis rated for -40°C to +75°C — the same industrial credentials as every other member of the IM series, at the smallest possible functional footprint.

Key Features

  • 1 × 100/1000M SFP Fiber + 1 × 10/100/1000M RJ45 — Pure Media Conversion — Transparent fiber-to-copper bridge with no switching logic between the two ports; SM (20–120km) and MM (500m–2km) SFP modules supported; BiDi single-fiber modules compatible for single-strand deployments where fiber count is limited to one strand per location
  • DC 12–52V Wide-Voltage Redundant Input — Accepts DC 12V (vehicle/solar systems), DC 24V (industrial automation bus), and DC 48V (telecom plant) without hardware modification or external converter; dual redundant input terminals with reverse-connection protection — the broadest DC input compatibility in the IM series for a media converter
  • ≤5W Total Power Consumption at Full Load — The lowest power draw in the IM lineup; draws negligible current from the host power supply; extends battery runtime at off-grid sites and minimizes thermal load inside sealed enclosures at high ambient temperatures
  • 6KV Ethernet Surge Protection — The RJ45 copper port is hardened against high-voltage transients from outdoor cable runs, nearby electrical equipment, and indirect lightning — protecting both the converter and the connected endpoint device
  • ±15KV ESD Air Discharge / ±6KV EFT / Surge Differential ±2KV / Common ±6KV — Full IEC 61000-4 five-parameter industrial EMC immunity; CE-EMC / CE-LVD EN IEC 62368-1 / FCC Class B certified
  • 4Gbps Switching Fabric / 2.976Mpps / <10µs Forwarding Delay — Non-blocking wire-speed forwarding between the fiber and copper ports; store-and-forward with full frame integrity verification
  • Auto MDI/MDIX / IEEE 802.3x Flow Control — Plug-and-play copper wiring without crossover cables; flow control prevents frame loss under burst traffic conditions
  • Per-Port LED: Fiber Link / Copper Speed / Activity — Dedicated fiber link indicator confirms SFP module status independently from copper link; speed and activity indicators on the RJ45 port; all readable without opening the enclosure in standard DIN-rail installations
  • 6-PIN Industrial Power Terminal Block — Permanent screw-terminal DC connection; no barrel connector; consistent with industrial panel wiring practice
  • -40°C to +75°C / IP40 / DIN-Rail or Wall-Mount / 114 × 93 × 35mm / 0.35kg — Full industrial temperature range; corrugated metal IP40 shell; dual mounting options
  • CE / FCC Class B / LVD EN IEC 62368-1 / 3-Year Warranty + Lifetime Technical Support

Applications

  • Single-Device Fiber Extension at Remote Locations — The most fundamental use case: a single IP camera, PLC, HMI, or sensor sits beyond the 100m copper reach of the nearest switch, but running a multi-port switch at that location to connect one device wastes cost, power, and DIN-rail space. The IM-MC110GE extends the fiber backbone to that single endpoint directly — one fiber in, one copper device connected — at the lowest possible hardware and power cost per location. Multiplied across hundreds of single-endpoint locations in a large distributed network, the per-node savings are substantial
  • Fiber Ring Endpoint Termination — At the terminal end of a fiber star or the final node of a daisy-chain where only one copper device needs to connect, the IM-MC110GE terminates the fiber and hands off to copper without consuming a switch port at a location that does not need switching. In power SCADA, water utility telemetry, and pipeline monitoring networks where RTUs, flow meters, and environmental sensors sit alone at remote measurement points, this is the standard deployment pattern
  • Vehicle & Mobile Platform Fiber Handoff — Transit vehicles, command vehicles, and mobile surveillance platforms that run fiber internally for EMI immunity connect individual copper-interface devices — displays, cameras, GPS receivers, radio modems — to the fiber backbone through IM-MC110GE units mounted at each device location. The DC 12V direct input eliminates the 48V converter required by PoE-based alternatives; the ≤5W draw preserves vehicle electrical budget; the IEC 60068 mechanical ratings handle road vibration and shock
  • Solar-Powered Off-Grid Monitoring Outposts — Environmental monitoring stations, wildlife observation points, and remote telemetry sites powered by solar-derived DC connect a single sensor node or IP camera to a long-haul fiber link through the IM-MC110GE. The DC 12V input accepts solar charge controller output directly; the ≤5W self-consumption leaves the maximum available harvest for the connected sensor payload; the wide input range accommodates the voltage variations of unregulated solar systems across weather and seasonal conditions
  • Industrial Process Single-Point Instrumentation — In manufacturing and process control environments, individual field instruments — flow meters, pressure transmitters, vision inspection cameras — are networked via fiber for EMI immunity but connect only one device per junction box. The IM-MC110GE provides the fiber handoff at each instrument location without the cost or panel space of a multi-port switch; its IEC 61000-4 Level 3 immunity handles the electrical environment of motor drives, VFDs, and arc welding equipment operating in the same facility
  • Building Riser Single-Device Floor Drops — In multi-floor commercial buildings where a fiber riser connects the MDF to each floor, locations that need only a single copper connection — a lone corridor camera, a single access control reader at a stairwell — terminate the fiber drop with an IM-MC110GE rather than a full switch, keeping the floor distribution architecture minimal and the per-drop hardware cost at its lowest
  • Metallurgy, Mining & Heavy Industry Remote Terminals — In steel mills, underground mines, and heavy manufacturing environments where individual process terminals, safety sensors, and monitoring cameras are connected by fiber for distance and EMI immunity, the IM-MC110GE provides the copper handoff at each terminal location. Its hardened construction survives the vibration, temperature extremes, and electromagnetic interference of heavy industry; its minimal footprint fits the compact junction boxes standard in these environments; and its zero-configuration operation requires no network expertise from the process or maintenance personnel who manage these locations
