4. Product Introduction (Anti-Template)
The EtherWAN EL100T is a commercial-grade Fast Ethernet media converter that translates between 10/100BASE-TX copper and 100BASE-FX multi-mode fiber. It uses an ST fiber connector and supports distances up to 2 km at 1310 nm.
The unit is designed for simple plug-and-play installation. DIP switches allow the user to enable or disable Link Fault Pass-Through (LFPT), select store-and-forward or pure converter mode, and force speed/duplex settings if needed. LFPT is particularly useful because it propagates link-loss information across the media conversion so that connected devices can detect fiber or copper failures. The EL100T can be mounted on a wall or installed in EtherWAN’s EMC1600 chassis for higher-density deployments with optional power redundancy.

5. QC, Procurement & Logistics SOP
- Inbound Verification – Confirm model (EL100T), ST fiber port condition, RJ-45 port, power input, and DIP switch presence. Photograph labels.
- Functional Testing – Power the unit, verify link LEDs on both copper and fiber sides, and confirm basic data passage and LFPT behavior if required.
- QA & Packaging – Protect the fiber ST connector and RJ-45 port, clean the housing, and pack in protective packaging.
- Global Logistics & Export Compliance – Classify under the correct HS code for network media converters. Packaging must protect optical and electrical interfaces; export documentation is prepared to minimize customs delays.
6. Technical Pitfalls & Integration Warnings
Fiber Type and Distance – The EL100T is multi-mode only and limited to 2 km. Using single-mode fiber or exceeding the distance will result in no link or high error rates.
DIP Switch Settings – Incorrect LFPT, speed, or duplex settings can cause link flaps or performance issues. Document the required configuration before installation.
Power Supply – Use the correct 12 V DC adapter or chassis power. Incorrect voltage can damage the unit.
Chassis Compatibility – When installing in an EMC1600 chassis, ensure proper seating and power distribution.
7. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the realistic global lead time for an EL100T?
Standard commercial product; typical lead time is 1–7 business days when in stock, plus shipping.
What does the convert?
10/100BASE-TX copper Ethernet to 100BASE-FX multi-mode fiber (ST connector, 2 km).
What is Link Fault Pass-Through (LFPT)?
A feature that propagates link-loss status across the converter so that devices on both sides can detect a failure on the opposite media.
Is it managed or unmanaged?
Unmanaged (plug-and-play). Configuration is limited to DIP switches.
What is the maximum fiber distance?
2 km on multi-mode fiber.
Can it be used in a chassis?
Yes. It is compatible with EtherWAN’s EMC1600 media converter chassis.
What should be confirmed before ordering?
Exact model ( for multi-mode ST 2 km), required power option, and whether chassis mounting is needed.
