Planet IFT-802TS15 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet Media Converter

When your Ethernet link needs to reach across a factory floor, a noisy plant or a remote control cabinet, copper cabling often falls short. The Planet IFT-802TS15 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet Media Converter bridges that gap by turning 10/100Base-TX copper into 100Base-FX fibre, letting you extend networks up to 15 km with reliable, interference-free performance.

Usages of a 100 Mbit/s media converter

Ideal for industrial sites, traffic-control panels and outdoor installations, this converter lets you connect distant devices such as sensors, PLCs or surveillance cameras over single-mode fibre, keeping your network stable even in harsh environments.

Benefits of Planet media converter

• Long reach: Extends Ethernet up to 15 km, so you can cover large sites without repeaters.
• Tough durability: Operates from -40 °F to 167 °F and resists electrical surges, perfect for extreme conditions.
• Easy power: Accepts 12-48 V DC with dual-redundant inputs, ensuring uptime with backup supply.
• Simple install: Compact IP30 case fits DIN rail or panel mounting, saving cabinet space.
• Reliable link: Auto-MDI/MDI-X, flow control and auto-negotiation guarantee a stable connection.

Planet media converter

Choosing this converter means you get a purpose-built solution for industrial networking, rather than a generic office device that may fail under temperature swings or electromagnetic noise. Its metal housing and 6 kV ESD protection guard against the harshest plant conditions, while the built-in power flexibility lets you run it from existing DC supplies without extra adapters. The result is a low-maintenance link that keeps critical data flowing, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
