ATOP EF24L Ethernet to Fibre Media Converter
Request a price
The ATOP EF24L is a lite industrial media converter that links one 10/100/1000BASE-T(X) RJ45 port to one 100/1000BASE-X fibre port, ordered as multi-mode SC (550 m), single-mode SC (10 km) or SFP slot. A 5-pin DIP switch sets fibre speed, duplex, auto-negotiation and link fault pass-through. It mounts on DIN rail in a metal housing with redundant power inputs.

Description
The EF24L Series is a lite Industrial Gigabit Ethernet to Fiber Converter providing media conversion between 10/100/1000 BASE-T(X) and 100/1000 BASE-(F)X (available in both SC and SFP fiber connectors). Whether you’re upgrading your system or simply replacing an obsolete device with a newer model, EF24L ensures that the process is both easy and cost-efficient.
On top of basic media conversion, the EF24L Series comes with a DIP switch to configure or enable more advanced functions including fiber speed, fiber auto negotiation, link fail pass-through, and jumbo frame limitation to allow maximal flexibility. Although small and slim, it is no doubt rugged and ready for any application.
The EF24 Series Media Converter also provides auto MDI/MDI-X, Auto Negotiation, and Link Fault Pass-Through (LFP) function and one 5 pin DIP switch to configure the functions, such as the TX_Duplex mode, FX_Duplex mode, Speed mode, LFP, Auto Negotiation.
Industrial Gigabit Ethernet to Fiber Media Converter for long-reach links. Copper RJ45 to fiber; robust design for industrial applications.

Which version do I need?
This page covers the EF24L series. ATOP lists three codes that differ only in the fibre connector: EF24L-1G-1Fm-SC-550M (multi-mode SC, up to 550 m), EF24L-1G-1Fs-SC-10 (single-mode SC, up to 10 km) and EF24L-1G-1SFP (SFP slot for your own transceiver). Pick the code that matches the fibre type and distance of the existing link. The EF24S is the sibling with 1000BASE-X-only fibre and wide-temperature rating.
Typical applications for the EF24L
- Extending an Ethernet link beyond copper distance between buildings or cabinets
- Replacing an obsolete media converter on an existing 100BASE-FX fibre run
- Upgrading a fibre link from 100 Mbps to Gigabit without changing the converter
- Connecting a remote PLC or camera cabinet over multi-mode fibre up to 550 m
- Single-mode links up to 10 km across a site or campus
- Isolating long runs from electrical noise in industrial plant

EF24L — frequently asked questions
Which fibre connectors and distances are available?
Three codes: multi-mode SC up to 550 m (EF24L-1G-1Fm-SC-550M), single-mode SC up to 10 km (EF24L-1G-1Fs-SC-10), and an SFP slot (EF24L-1G-1SFP).
Can it work with an older 100BASE-FX fibre link?
Yes. The fibre port supports 100/1000BASE-X, and the fibre speed is set by the DIP switch, which makes the EF24L suitable for replacing an obsolete converter.
What is the difference between the EF24L and the EF24S?
The EF24L fibre port runs at 100 or 1000 Mbps and uses a 5-pin DIP switch for speed, duplex, auto-negotiation and link fault pass-through. The EF24S is 1000BASE-X only, uses a 3-pin DIP switch for flow control, link fault pass-through and jumbo frames, and is listed by ATOP as a wide-temperature model.
Does it need software configuration?
No. All settings are made on the DIP switch, and the copper port supports auto MDI/MDI-X and auto-negotiation.
What is link fault pass-through?
LFP passes a link failure on one side of the converter through to the other side, so the connected equipment can detect that the path is down. It is enabled on the DIP switch.
What are the power and temperature ratings?
It has redundant power inputs, like all ATOP media converters, and ATOP rates its media converter range for -20 to +70°C.
