Product Features
Technical Overview
Engineered for Fast Ethernet networks, this media converter operates at a maximum data transfer rate of 100 Mbit/s, compatible with both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX standards on the copper side and 100Base-FX on the fiber side. It uses multi-mode fiber optic cable with a 1310nm wavelength, supporting distances up to 2 kilometers (1.24 miles), which is ideal for connecting buildings or spanning large facilities.
The device features two ports: one standard RJ-45 network port for copper connectivity and one SC port for fiber optic termination. The PoE functionality is implemented through a separate RJ-45 port configured as a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), supplying power to compliant devices without additional injectors. Power is supplied via an AC/DC adapter, with a consumption rating of 25 watts to accommodate PoE loads and converter operation.

FAQ
What does this media converter do?
It converts network signals between copper Ethernet (10/100Base-TX over RJ-45) and fiber optic (100Base-FX over SC). This allows you to extend your network beyond the 100-meter limit of standard copper cabling by using fiber optic cables, which support longer distances up to 2 kilometers with better noise immunity.
What type of fiber optic cable is compatible?
This converter is compatible with multi-mode fiber optic cables using SC connectors. It operates at a wavelength of 1310nm, which is standard for many multi-mode fiber installations in enterprise or campus environments. Ensure your fiber patch cables match these specifications for optimal performance.
How does the PoE port work?
The converter includes one Power over Ethernet (PoE) port configured as Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE). This port can deliver electrical power over the Ethernet cable to compatible devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones, eliminating the need for separate power supplies or injectors at the remote location.
What is the maximum data transfer rate?
The converter supports Fast Ethernet, with a maximum data transfer rate of 100 Mbit/s. It handles both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX standards on the copper side and 100Base-FX on the fiber side, making it suitable for legacy network upgrades or extensions where Gigabit speeds are not required.
What is the maximum distance supported?
It supports fiber optic connections up to 2 kilometers (approximately 1.24 miles). This distance is typical for multi-mode fiber at 1310nm wavelength, allowing you to span between buildings, across large facilities, or in outdoor deployments without signal repeaters.
What power source does it require?
The converter uses an AC/DC power adapter, with a power consumption rating of 25 watts. This includes enough capacity for the converter's own operation plus power delivery through the PoE port. Ensure you use the provided or compatible power supply to maintain reliable performance and PoE output.
