Description
Siemens 6GK5101-1BC00-2AA3
SCALANCE X101-1LD | Industrial Ethernet Media Converter | 10/100 Mbps RJ45 to 100 Mbps Single-Mode Fiber | Unmanaged | PROFINET Compatible
Product Detailed Description
The Siemens 6GK5101-1BC00-2AA3 is a SCALANCE X101-1LD unmanaged Industrial Ethernet media converter designed to connect copper-based Ethernet networks with single-mode fiber-optic networks. It provides one 10/100 Mbps RJ45 electrical port and one 100 Mbps single-mode fiber-optic BFOC port.The converter enables industrial Ethernet communication over longer distances, with an optical transmission range of up to 26 km depending on the fiber used. It supports PROFINET-compatible securing collars, LED diagnostics, and a configurable error-signaling contact for network status monitoring.The device also features redundant 24 V DC power supply connections and is suitable for DIN rail, wall, or S7-300 rail mounting. It is designed for industrial network installations requiring reliable copper-to-fiber conversion.
