TRENDnet Hardened Industrial 100Base-FX Single-Mode SC Fiber Converter TI-F10S30

Overview: When industrial networks demand reliability, TRENDnet delivers with the TI-F10S30 Hardened Industrial 100Base-FX Single-Mode SC Fiber Converter. Built for extreme environments, this compact, IP40-rated device bridges your Ethernet network to long-haul fiber with rugged components designed to withstand dust, vibration, and temperature swings common in factories, processing plants, and outdoor enclosures. It enables secure, high-speed data transmission over single-mode fiber up to 30 kilometers (18.6 miles), making it ideal for remote monitoring, industrial automation, and mission-critical connectivity where downtime is not an option. With flexible mounting and a streamlined, plug-and-play design, the TI-F10S30 blends industrial-grade reliability with simple installation to keep your network running smoothly where conventional gear cannot.

• Industrial-grade, IP40 housing: The TI-F10S30 is built with hardened components and a rugged enclosure to endure dust, moisture, shock, and temperature fluctuations commonly found in factories and outdoor equipment cabinets. Its IP40 rating signals protection against solid objects while maintaining reliable performance in demanding environments.
• Long-distance 100Base-FX over Single-Mode fiber: Take advantage of up to 30 km (18.6 miles) of fiber reach using conventional single-mode fiber. This extended distance capability minimizes the need for repeaters or mid-span equipment, enabling centralized data collection, remote sensors, and distributed control architectures without sacrificing speed or integrity.
• SC fiber interface for reliable connectivity: The converter uses a standard SC connector for single-mode fiber, delivering clean, low-loss optical transmission. This interface supports stable, high-bandwidth links across industrial campuses and remote sites, with robust performance in challenging environments where vibration and EMI might impact lesser equipment.
• Versatile mounting – DIN-rail and wall-mount ready: For flexible deployments, the TI-F10S30 ships with both DIN-rail and wall-mount hardware, enabling quick installation in control cabinets, equipment racks, or on service walls. This adaptability reduces installation time and keeps critical network paths neatly organized in compact industrial spaces.
• Compact, plug-and-play operation: Designed to be straightforward to deploy, this converter minimizes downtime and complexity. It bridges Ethernet at 100 Mbps to the fiber link with minimal configuration, so technicians can install, test, and commission networks rapidly while maintaining reliability in harsh settings.
