Product Description
The Kramer FC-102NET is a sleek and compact two-channel Dante encoder. It comes with two balanced mono audio inputs, allowing you to connect non-Dante sources like microphones, laptops, and media players to a Dante network. This encoder supports both line level and microphone level sources and can supply 48V phantom power for each input. It gets its power over Ethernet from any standard PoE-providing network switch.
Key Features:
- Dante Network Interface: Seamlessly integrate with Dante networks.
- PoE Acceptor: Simplify power connection.
- Two Balanced Mono Audio Inputs: On 3-pin terminal blocks for easy source connection.
- Two Dante Channels Output: Via an RJ-45 connector.
- Output Volume Control: Adjust the audio output as needed.
- Versatile Control: Through the Dante IP control matrix and Kramer Protocol 3000 via RS-232 connection.
Technical Specifications:
- INPUTS: Two balanced mono mic/line level sources on 3-pin terminal blocks.
- PORTS: One Dante on an RJ-45 connector and one RS-232 on a 3-pin terminal block.
- USER INTERFACE: Control options include Dante IP control matrix, Kramer Protocol 3000 via RS-232, audio input configuration DIP-switches, and a reset button. Indicators show power, Dante network, input selection, and digital operation status.
- POWER: Powered by 48V DC (PoE) with a consumption of 100mA.
- ENCLOSURE: PicoTOOLS size, made of aluminum with convection ventilation for cooling.

Using the Kramer FC-102NET is easy. First, connect your non-Dante audio sources like microphones or laptops to the two balanced mono audio inputs on the 3 - pin terminal blocks. Then, connect the encoder to a Dante network using the RJ - 45 connector for the Dante output. Power it up by connecting it to a standard PoE - providing network switch.
To control the output volume, use the available volume control feature. You can also configure the device via the Dante IP control matrix or the Kramer Protocol 3000 through an RS - 232 connection. You can adjust audio input settings using the DIP - switches.
When it comes to maintenance, keep the device in a clean and dry environment. Make sure the ventilation vents are not blocked to prevent overheating. Check the power and network connections regularly to ensure stable operation.
Be aware of the environmental conditions. Operate the device within the temperature range of 0 to +40C (32 to 104F) and store it between -40 to +70C (-40 to 158F). The humidity should be between 10% to 90% and non - condensing. If you need to reset the device, use the reset button, but make sure you understand the implications of doing so as it may revert all settings to default.
