FAQ
What does this media converter card do?
This card converts 10/100Base-TX Ethernet signals from twisted pair copper cables to 100Base-BX-U signals over single-mode fiber optic cables. It enables network segments to extend beyond the typical limits of copper cabling by using fiber for longer distances and improved signal integrity.
What is the maximum distance supported by this converter?
The ADD-MCC1MBX35-20 supports a maximum distance of 20 kilometers (12.43 miles) over single-mode fiber. This makes it suitable for connecting network equipment across campuses, between buildings, or in other scenarios where long-range connections are necessary.
What types of connectors does this media converter use?
It uses one RJ-45 connector for the copper twisted pair connection and one SC connector for the single-mode fiber optic connection. The SC connector is common in fiber optic networks for its reliable performance and ease of use.
Is this converter internal or external?
This is an internal media converter card, designed to be installed inside compatible rack or standalone systems. It integrates directly into the hardware, saving space and reducing external cabling compared to standalone converter units.
What is the data transfer rate of this media converter?
It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 100 Mbit/s, which aligns with Fast Ethernet standards. This rate is sufficient for many business and industrial applications that require reliable network connectivity over extended distances.
Does this converter support single-mode or multimode fiber?
This converter supports single-mode fiber only. Single-mode fiber is ideal for longer distance transmissions, such as the 20 km supported here, due to its lower signal attenuation compared to multimode fiber.
