FAQ
What does this media converter do?
This media converter converts 10/100Base-TX Ethernet signals from a standard RJ-45 copper port to 100Base-FX signals for an ST multimode fiber optic port. It allows you to extend network connections up to 2 kilometers using fiber cabling, bridging copper-based devices with fiber infrastructure.
What type of fiber does it support?
It supports multimode fiber optic cabling with a 1310 nm wavelength. This is common for short to medium-distance fiber runs, making it compatible with many existing multimode fiber installations in offices, campuses, or industrial settings.
What is the maximum distance it can cover?
The maximum supported distance is 2 kilometers (approximately 1.24 miles) when using multimode fiber. This extends network reach beyond typical copper cable limits, reducing signal loss and enabling connections between distant network segments or buildings.
What power source does it require?
It uses an AC/DC power source, providing flexibility for installation in various environments. You can power it from standard wall outlets or DC sources, making it suitable for both permanent setups and temporary deployments without specialized power requirements.
Does it have management capabilities?
No, this media converter does not include a management port. It operates as a plug-and-play device, automatically converting signals without configuration. This simplifies deployment but means you cannot monitor or adjust settings remotely.
What is the warranty period?
It comes with a 3-year limited warranty, covering defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty provides assurance of reliability for network extensions, supporting long-term use in business or industrial applications without additional protection plans.
