The MikroTik FTC21 is a fiber optic media converter equipped with one SFP slot and two gigabit Ethernet ports (10/100/1000 Mbps). The SFP slot supports bandwidth up to 2.5 Gbps and can accommodate either a Single-mode or Multi-mode module, depending on the specific requirements of the location. The device can be powered via PoE (passive or 802.3af/at) or through a DC socket, with an input voltage range of 24–57 V DC in both cases. The maximum power consumption of the media converter is only 4 W. One of the standout features of the FTC21 is its pre-installed full version of SwOS Lite. This system allows for basic Layer 2 management functions and, most importantly, enables monitoring of operational status. This makes the FTC21 suitable for critical connections where using standard media converters might be risky due to the lack of operational status visibility. The enclosure is rated IP55, making it suitable for installation in dust-prone environments such as production or storage halls or unused attics. The package includes a pole-mount bracket and mounting dowels.

SFP - 2x gigabit Ethernet converter

The offered product is a fiber optic media converter that converts the signal from the SFP slot to gigabit Ethernet ports and vice versa. You can use any type of SFP module, depending on the specific requirements of the location. Additionally, the slot supports a bandwidth of up to 2.5 Gbps, which is twice the capacity of standard media converters.

SwOS system

The device is equipped with the SwOS operating system, which allows you to monitor operational status and use basic management functions. This is a significant advantage that the FTC21 holds over competing solutions. With the ability to monitor operational status, you can rely on the device for critical connections without worrying about diagnosing potential failures. Additionally, the device features a switch chip, making its functionality more akin to a switch rather than a simple media converter.

IP55 Protection and Dual Power Options

The enclosure boasts an IP55 protection rating, offering enhanced resistance to dust and water ingress. This makes the device suitable for outdoor installations as well as indoor environments with high dust levels. The device can be powered via PoE (passive or 802.3af/at) or a standard DC socket. In both cases, the input voltage range is 24–57 V DC, and the maximum power consumption is only 4 W. The package includes a 48 V / 0.95 A power adapter with a compatible PoE injector, along with a mounting bracket and a set of dowels. You can install the device on a wall or ceiling, ensuring flexibility in deployment.
