Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates with 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX network technologies, ensuring compatibility with standard Fast Ethernet equipment. It uses a 1310 nm wavelength on multimode fiber, which is common for short to medium-distance fiber optic applications.
The unit draws power via PoE from the connected network, eliminating the need for a separate power adapter. It consumes 25 W of power and includes environmental compliance with RoHS standards.
Relevant factors for this section include Total Number of Ports, Network (RJ-45), Number of PoE (RJ-45) Ports, Media Type Supported. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
Key Product Advantages
The ADD-FMCPD-FX-SC media converter enables seamless integration of fiber optic cabling into copper-based networks. Its PoE power source reduces cabling complexity and installation costs, while the rugged design ensures stable performance in various environments.
For buyers comparing similar models, the strongest advantage is usually the balance between dependable day-to-day operation and a simpler rollout experience. That means less time spent troubleshooting fit, compatibility, or user adoption after installation, which is especially important for shared business environments and repeat purchasing decisions.
Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is suitable for extending network reach in educational campuses, industrial facilities, or office buildings where fiber optic cabling is required for distance or environmental reasons. It allows network administrators to leverage existing copper infrastructure while adding fiber segments for specific needs.
The PoE power capability makes it particularly useful for deployments where power outlets are limited or where simplified installation is a priority.
Network Extension
Extend existing 10/100Base-TX networks over multimode fiber to connect remote buildings or equipment rooms beyond copper distance limits.
- Ideal for campus networks
- Connects separate floors or buildings
Fiber Integration
Integrate fiber optic backbone segments into copper-based LANs for improved signal integrity and noise immunity.
- Use in industrial environments
- Deploy in areas with EMI concerns
Physical Profile
The converter measures 5.50" (139.70 mm) in height, 4.50" (114.30 mm) in width, and 1.75" (44.45 mm) in depth, with an approximate weight of 3.20 lb (1451.50 g). Its compact form factor allows for flexible placement on desktops, shelves, or in network cabinets.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 5.50" (139.70 mm), 4.50" (114.30 mm), 1.75" (44.45 mm), 3.20 lb (1451.50 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
