Introduction

  • Not every field node needs Gigabit. Plenty of the world’s industrial infrastructure — legacy PLCs, analog-to-IP converters, older IP cameras, serial device servers, building automation controllers — runs at Fast Ethernet speeds, and will keep doing so for years. 
  • Dropping a Gigabit switch into these nodes wastes money, panel space, and power on capability the connected devices will never use.
  • The Olycom IM-FS120FE is sized for exactly this reality. 
  • A 3-port 10/100Mbps industrial fiber switch — 1 × 100Mbps SFP fiber uplink and 2 × Fast Ethernet RJ45 ports — it connects precisely two copper devices to a fiber backbone in the smallest, most power-efficient form factor the IM series offers. 
  • At 113.8 × 93 × 34.9mm and ≤5W, it occupies a fraction of the panel space of larger switches and generates almost no heat in sealed enclosures — a genuine advantage in densely packed instrument cabinets and junction boxes where thermal management is a real constraint.
  • The same industrial credentials that define the broader IM series are present in full: 6KV Ethernet surge protection, -40°C to +75°C operation, Level 3 EMS immunity across all IEC 61000-4 categories, NEMA-TS2 traffic control certification, EN 50121-4 rail traffic qualification, and IEC 60068 vibration/shock/freefall validation — because the harshness of the deployment environment has nothing to do with how many ports the switch inside it needs.

Key Features

  • 1 × 100Mbps SFP Fiber Uplink — Single-mode support from 20km up to 120km (1310/1550nm, 1490/1550nm); multimode up to 2km (1310nm); transceiver-agnostic for full flexibility across short campus links and long metropolitan runs
  • 2 × 10/100Mbps Auto-Sensing RJ45 Ports — Both ports auto-negotiate speed and duplex independently; Auto MDI/MDIX on both eliminates any cable-type dependency
  • Right-Sized Fast Ethernet Performance — 40Gbps internal switching bandwidth, 4MB packet buffer, and store-and-forward architecture deliver clean, error-free forwarding for 10/100Mbps traffic without the overhead of unused Gigabit capability
  • 6KV Ethernet Surge Protection — Port-level lightning and transient protection on both RJ45 interfaces; protects connected devices in outdoor-adjacent and exposed field installations
  • Level 3 EMS Immunity: EN 61000-4-2/3/4/5/6/8 — Full industrial electromagnetic immunity suite covering ESD (±15KV air / ±6KV contact), radiated susceptibility, EFT, surge, conducted susceptibility, and power frequency magnetic field
  • FCC Part 15 Class A & EN 55022 Class A EMI Compliance — Industrial EMC classification for electrically noisy environments
  • NEMA-TS2 Traffic Control Certified — Qualified for roadside cabinet and traffic control system deployment under US traffic infrastructure standards
  • EN 50121-4 Rail Traffic Certified — Meets European railway EMC requirements for trackside and onboard rolling stock applications
  • IEC 60068-2-6/27/32 Vibration, Shock & Freefall Certified — Mechanically validated for continuous vibration, impact events, and transport handling; critical for vehicle-mounted and trackside nodes
  • DC 12–52V Wide-Range Dual Power Input — Reverse polarity protection standard; ≤5W consumption makes it thermally negligible inside sealed enclosures
  • -40°C to +75°C Operating Range — Cold-start rated without warm-up; storage rated to +85°C
  • 113.8 × 93 × 34.9mm IP40 Corrugated Metal Housing — The smallest DIN-rail footprint in the IM series; fits inside instrument panels, pole-mount boxes, and junction enclosures where every millimeter of rail space counts
  • CE / LVD EN60950 Safety Certified | 3-Year Warranty

Applications

  • Legacy PLC & Controller Fiber Connectivity — Countless industrial PLCs, motion controllers, and process automation devices in active service today have Fast Ethernet ports that will remain in use through their full operational lifetime. The IM-FS120FE connects two such devices to a fiber backbone without requiring any endpoint replacement or speed upgrade — the most cost-effective and least disruptive way to bring legacy copper automation hardware onto a modern fiber network
  • Paired Endpoint Fiber Nodes — Some field locations have exactly two devices that need network connectivity — a camera and a controller, a sensor gateway and a wireless AP, a door controller and a reader panel. Rather than deploying a larger switch with ports that will never be used, the IM-FS120FE serves this two-device node precisely, keeping the installation lean and the panel space available for other equipment
  • Traffic Signal & Roadside Cabinet Integration — NEMA-TS2 certification places the IM-FS120FE inside the same qualification bracket as the controllers and sensors it connects. In a roadside cabinet housing a traffic controller and a connected camera or sensor, it provides the fiber handoff point without consuming the panel space that a larger switch would claim
  • Railway Station Micro-Nodes & Lineside Equipment — EN 50121-4 qualification covers deployment at low-device-count trackside locations — a platform camera paired with a passenger information display, or a lineside sensor paired with a communication terminal — where the two-port RJ45 configuration matches the actual device count and avoids over-specifying the switching infrastructure at each node
  • Compact Vehicle & Mobile Platform Installations — In vehicle networking applications where panel space inside equipment bays is extremely limited, the IM-FS120FE’s minimal footprint and 5W thermal output make it viable in installations where a standard DIN-rail switch simply will not fit. IEC 60068 shock and vibration certification confirms it can handle the mechanical environment
  • Building Automation Edge Nodes — Deployed inside wall-mount junction boxes and ceiling-void enclosures connecting two BMS field devices — a floor-level controller and a room sensor hub, for example — to the building’s fiber backbone. The fanless all-metal housing and sealed IP40 rating handle the temperature and humidity variation that concealed-space installations encounter over a building’s lifetime
  • Serial Device Server & Protocol Converter Integration — Industrial serial-to-Ethernet converters and protocol gateways typically operate at Fast Ethernet speeds and come in pairs — one at each end of a converted serial link. The IM-FS120FE connects both units at a remote field node to the fiber network, with sufficient RJ45 ports for exactly this two-device deployment pattern
