Flexible Fiber Support
The open SFP slot accepts industry-standard SFP modules for multi-mode or single-mode fiber, allowing customization based on distance, budget, and existing fiber plant.
Industrial Reliability
With terminal block power and a sturdy enclosure, this converter withstands vibrations, temperature fluctuations, and harsh conditions typical in manufacturing, utility, or outdoor deployments.
Deployment / Use Cases
Deploy the ADD-IFMC-FX-1SFP1 in industrial automation settings where machinery with RJ-45 ports needs to connect to a fiber backbone, ensuring electrical isolation and resistance to electromagnetic interference.
Use it in campus networks to bridge buildings over fiber, extending Fast Ethernet connections beyond the 100-meter copper limit. It is also ideal for surveillance systems, connecting IP cameras over copper to a central fiber network for centralized recording.
Industrial Networking
Connect PLCs, sensors, or HMIs in factories to control rooms over fiber, maintaining signal integrity across high-noise environments.
Network Extension
Extend existing 10/100Base-TX networks over fiber optics for distances up to 0.10 km, avoiding costly infrastructure upgrades.
Physical Profile
The converter's industrial design features a compact metal or high-grade plastic enclosure with dimensions of 5.50 inches tall, 5 inches wide, and 1.75 inches deep. It weighs approximately 8 ounces, making it lightweight yet durable for rack-mounting, wall-mounting, or placement in control cabinets. The terminal block power connector ensures reliable power connections in environments with vibration or dust.
