Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates at a maximum data transfer rate of 1 Gbit/s, fully supporting Gigabit Ethernet standards for both copper and fiber interfaces. The RJ-45 port auto-negotiates between 10, 100, and 1000 Mbps speeds, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of network devices, while the SC fiber port uses 1310 nm wavelength single-mode optics to achieve a reach of up to 20 kilometers.
The converter adheres to 9/125 µm fiber core/cladding specifications, matching standard single-mode cabling for reliable optical performance. Its internal form factor measures 4.50" x 3.50" x 0.75" (114.30 mm x 88.90 mm x 19.05 mm) and weighs approximately 8 oz (226.80 g), designed for low-profile installation in dedicated slots.
