FAQ
What does this media converter do?
This converter bridges copper and fiber networks by converting 10/100Base-TX Ethernet signals from twisted pair cable to 100Base-LX signals for single-mode fiber optic cable. It enables data transmission over longer distances up to 20 km while maintaining signal integrity, making it suitable for extending network reach beyond typical copper limitations.
What type of fiber does it support?
It supports single-mode fiber optic cable with a core/cladding specification of 9/125 µm and operates at a 1310 nm wavelength. Single-mode fiber is designed for long-distance transmission with minimal signal loss, ideal for applications requiring connectivity over several kilometers, such as between buildings or across campuses.
Does it include Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, it includes one PoE (RJ-45) port configured as a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) port. This allows the converter to deliver power to compatible devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones over the Ethernet cable, simplifying installation by reducing the need for separate power sources at remote locations.
What is the maximum data transfer rate?
The maximum data transfer rate is 100 Mbit/s, which aligns with Fast Ethernet standards. This rate supports efficient data flow for typical network tasks, such as file transfers, video streaming, or device communication, ensuring reliable performance in converted fiber segments without bottlenecks.
How far can it transmit data over fiber?
It supports a maximum distance of 20 km (12.43 miles) over single-mode fiber. This extended range is achieved through the 100Base-LX technology and 1310 nm wavelength, which minimize signal attenuation, making it effective for long-haul connections in enterprise or industrial settings where copper cables are impractical.
What are the physical dimensions and warranty?
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 8 oz (226.80 g).
