Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates with a 1310 nm wavelength on single-mode fiber, enabling a maximum reach of 20 kilometers (12.43 miles). It supports both twisted-pair and optical fiber media, ensuring compatibility with standard Cat5/Cat6 cables and 9/125 µm single-mode fiber patches. The Fast Ethernet technology handles 10/100Base-TX on the copper side and 100Base-LX on the fiber side, maintaining full-duplex operation without protocol conversion overhead.
The integrated PoE capability allows the device to be powered directly from a PoE switch or injector, reducing cabling complexity and enabling placement in areas without convenient power outlets. The 25-watt power consumption covers both the converter's operation and any passthrough requirements for connected devices. Environmental certifications include RoHS compliance, confirming the absence of hazardous substances like lead, mercury, and cadmium.
Key Product Advantages
This converter extends network reach reliably while simplifying infrastructure. The PoE power source removes the need for local AC power, which is especially valuable in industrial settings, outdoor installations, or secure areas where power outlets are scarce or restricted. The 20-kilometer fiber distance enables connections between buildings, across campuses, or along extended premises without signal degradation or electromagnetic interference common in long copper runs.
Media Flexibility
Supports both twisted-pair copper and single-mode fiber, allowing seamless integration into mixed-media networks. The SC connector provides a durable, latch-secured interface for fiber patches.

- SC Fiber Interface
- Single-mode Compatibility
Deployment Efficiency
PoE power eliminates separate power supplies, reducing installation time and clutter. The compact size (5.50" x 4.50" x 1.75") fits easily in enclosures, racks, or desktop placements.
- PoE-Powered Operation
- Compact Footprint
- Simplified Cabling
Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is ideal for extending Fast Ethernet networks over longer distances where copper limitations become a factor. Common applications include connecting remote office buildings, linking surveillance cameras over fiber backbones, integrating industrial control systems across a factory floor, or bridging network segments in educational campuses. The PoE feature is particularly useful for powering remote devices like wireless access points or IP phones through the same fiber link.
In security and surveillance deployments, the converter can connect IP cameras over fiber to a central network video recorder, ensuring high-quality video transmission without interference. For industrial automation, it provides electrical isolation between noisy factory equipment and sensitive control networks, reducing ground loop issues and improving signal integrity. The 20-kilometer reach also supports point-to-point links in rural or expansive commercial properties where direct copper runs are impractical.
Physical Profile
The converter measures 5.50 inches (139.70 mm) in height, 4.50 inches (114.30 mm) in width, and 1.75 inches (44.45 mm) in depth, with an approximate weight of 3.20 pounds (1451.50 grams). Its sturdy metal enclosure ensures durability in varied environments, while the compact dimensions allow flexible mounting in server racks, wall enclosures, or desktop setups. The front panel clearly labels the RJ-45 and SC ports for straightforward cabling, and the unit operates reliably within standard indoor temperature ranges.

FAQ
What does this media converter do?
It converts Ethernet signals between copper and fiber media. Specifically, it takes 10/100Base-TX Fast Ethernet from an RJ-45 twisted-pair cable and converts it to 100Base-LX signals for transmission over single-mode fiber with an SC connector, extending network reach up to 20 kilometers.
How is this converter powered?
The converter uses Power over Ethernet (PoE), drawing up to 25 watts from a PoE switch or injector connected to its RJ-45 port. This eliminates the need for a separate AC power adapter, simplifying installation in locations without convenient power outlets.
What type of fiber does it support?
It supports single-mode fiber with a 1310 nm wavelength. Single-mode fiber is designed for long-distance transmission, making this converter suitable for links up to 20 kilometers. It uses SC connectors, which are common for secure fiber connections in networking applications.
What is the maximum data transfer rate?
The converter supports a maximum data transfer rate of 100 Mbit/s, which aligns with Fast Ethernet standards. It handles both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX on the copper side and 100Base-LX on the fiber side, ensuring consistent performance across the conversion.
Can I use this with PoE devices?
Yes, the converter includes one PoE RJ-45 port that can provide power to connected PoE devices, such as IP cameras or wireless access points. This allows both data and power to be transmitted over the fiber link, streamlining deployments for remote powered devices.
