FAQ
What does this media converter actually convert?
This converter transforms electrical signals from two RJ-45 Ethernet ports (copper cabling) into optical signals for two ST single-mode fiber ports. It enables communication between copper-based network devices and fiber optic infrastructure, supporting bidirectional data flow at Gigabit Ethernet speeds.
What is the maximum distance supported on fiber?
The converter supports fiber optic cable runs up to 20 kilometers (approximately 12.43 miles) when using single-mode fiber with ST connectors. This extended reach significantly exceeds the 100-meter limitation of standard copper Ethernet cabling, making it ideal for connecting distant network segments.
What types of fiber does this converter support?
It supports single-mode fiber optic cable exclusively, operating with 1310 nm transmit and 1550 nm receive wavelengths. Single-mode fiber provides better performance over long distances compared to multimode fiber, with lower signal attenuation and higher bandwidth capacity for the 20 km range.
What network speeds are supported?
The converter supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 1 Gbps on both copper and fiber interfaces. The RJ-45 ports auto-negotiate 10/100/1000Base-T connections, while the fiber ports operate at 1000Base-BX-U standards, maintaining full throughput across the conversion process.
How is this converter powered?
Power is supplied through a terminal block connector, which provides a secure, screw-down connection that resists vibration and accidental disconnection. This industrial-grade power interface ensures reliable operation in environments where standard power plugs might be insufficient.
What are the physical dimensions of this converter?
The converter measures 5.50 inches (139.70 mm) in height, 5 inches (127 mm) in width, and 1.75 inches (44.45 mm) in depth, with an approximate weight of 1 pound (453.59 grams). This compact form factor allows flexible installation in network racks, control cabinets, or wall-mounted enclosures.
