Description

Cradlepoint MC20-ETH Dual Fast Ethernet Expansion Module

Overview

The MC20-ETH is a plug-in expansion module that adds two Fast Ethernet ports to Cradlepoint MC20 series routers and gateways. Install this when your MC20 device needs additional wired connectivity beyond its built-in 1 GbE LAN/WAN port — typical in IoT deployments, edge computing environments, or field installations where you're bridging cellular backhaul with hardwired LAN segments. The module fits into an available slot on the MC20 platform and provides dedicated Fast Ethernet (FE) connectivity without consuming USB or serial ports.

Compatibility

The MC20-ETH is designed exclusively for Cradlepoint MC20 series routers and gateways. Your MC20 host device must have an available expansion module slot. Verify your MC20 model supports module expansion before ordering. The module integrates with Cradlepoint's IoT Cloud management platform, so you can monitor and configure the additional ports remotely alongside your cellular and Wi-Fi connectivity.

Installation Notes

The MC20-ETH operates across -20 °C to 60 °C (-4 °F to 140 °F), making it suitable for outdoor enclosures and vehicle-mounted installations. No external power is required — the module draws power from the MC20 host device itself. Ensure your host device has adequate module capacity and that you follow Cradlepoint's physical installation guide for slot alignment and seating. The two Fast Ethernet ports are switchable (LAN/WAN), giving you flexibility in network topology — one can serve as a secondary WAN failover or a dedicated LAN connection to local infrastructure.
