FAQ
What does this media converter convert between?
This converter transforms Fast Ethernet signals from a standard RJ-45 twisted-pair copper port to an ST connector fiber optic port. Specifically, it converts 10/100Base-TX (copper) to 100Base-FX (fiber), allowing network extension over fiber cabling while maintaining 100 Mbps speeds.
What type of fiber does it support?
It supports multi-mode fiber optic cable with a 1310 nm wavelength. Multi-mode fiber is commonly used for medium-distance applications up to 2 kilometers, offering a cost-effective solution for extending network segments beyond copper limitations.
What is the maximum distance this converter can support?
The maximum supported distance is 2 kilometers (approximately 1.24 miles) over multi-mode fiber. This extended reach makes it suitable for connecting network equipment across buildings or in large industrial sites where copper cabling would be insufficient.
How is this converter powered?
It uses a terminal block power connector, which provides a secure and reliable power input method ideal for industrial environments. This external power design eliminates the need for internal installation, simplifying deployment in various settings.
What are the physical dimensions and form factor?
The converter has an external form factor with dimensions of 5.50" (139.70 mm) height, 5" (127 mm) width, and 1.75" (44.45 mm) depth, weighing approximately 1 lb (453.59 g). Its compact size allows flexible placement on desktops, racks, or walls.
