Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates with a total of two ports: one RJ-45 port for twisted pair copper connections and one SC port for multi-mode fiber optic connections. It supports Gigabit Ethernet across both interfaces, ensuring seamless data transfer at up to 1000 Mbps. The maximum supported distance is 0.55 km (0.34 miles) over multi-mode fiber, making it suitable for medium-range network extensions.
The device is powered by an external DC power source, providing reliable operation without reliance on PoE. Its network technology includes 10/100/1000Base-T for auto-negotiating copper links and 1000Base-SX for fiber optic transmission, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of network equipment.
Key Product Advantages
This converter simplifies network integration by enabling direct conversion between copper and fiber media without requiring separate transceivers or complex configurations. Its support for both 10/100/1000Base-T and 1000Base-SX ensures backward compatibility and future-proof performance in mixed network environments.
Distance Extension
Extend Gigabit Ethernet connections up to 0.55 km using multi-mode fiber, overcoming the distance limitations of standard copper cabling while maintaining high-speed data transfer.
- Fiber optic immunity to EMI
- Ideal for campus or industrial networks
Flexible Deployment
The standalone and rail-mountable form factor allows installation on flat surfaces or within rack enclosures, adapting to various network closet or data center layouts.
- Compact footprint: 4.40" x 3.80" x 1.40"
- Easy placement without dedicated mounting hardware
Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is commonly deployed in scenarios where network segments need to span longer distances or where fiber optic cabling is already in place. It effectively bridges copper-based edge devices to fiber backbones, enhancing network reach and reliability.
Typical use cases include connecting switches in separate buildings within a campus, integrating fiber runs in industrial settings with high EMI, or upgrading existing copper networks to leverage fiber optic infrastructure for improved performance and future scalability.
Campus Network Extension
Connect network switches between buildings using existing multi-mode fiber runs, extending Gigabit Ethernet beyond the 100-meter limit of copper cabling.
Industrial Networking
Deploy in manufacturing or utility environments where fiber optic cabling provides superior noise immunity and durability compared to twisted pair.
Physical Profile
The converter features a compact design measuring 4.40" wide, 3.80" deep, and 1.40" high, with a weight of approximately 1.65 lb. Its form factor supports both standalone placement on flat surfaces and rail-mountable installation for organized rack deployments. The small footprint makes it suitable for space-constrained network closets or equipment racks.

FAQ
What does this media converter do?
This converter transforms Gigabit Ethernet signals between a standard RJ-45 copper port and an SC multi-mode fiber optic port. It allows network devices using twisted pair cabling to connect over longer distances via fiber, supporting data transfer up to 1000 Mbps and extending reach up to 0.55 km.
What types of fiber does it support?
It supports multi-mode fiber optic cabling with SC connectors. Multi-mode fiber is commonly used for shorter to medium-distance runs, making this converter suitable for campus or building-to-building connections within its 0.55 km range.
What is the maximum distance supported?
The maximum supported distance is 0.55 kilometers (0.34 miles) over multi-mode fiber. This extends Gigabit Ethernet beyond the typical 100-meter limit of copper cabling, ideal for connecting network segments across separate buildings or larger facilities.
How is this converter powered?
It uses an external DC power source. This ensures stable operation without relying on Power over Ethernet (PoE), making it compatible with any standard DC power supply and suitable for deployments where PoE is unavailable or insufficient.
Can this converter be mounted in a rack?
Yes, it features a rail-mountable form factor in addition to standalone placement. The compact dimensions allow installation on standard rack rails, facilitating organized deployment in network closets or data center environments.
What network standards does it support?
It supports 10/100/1000Base-T on the copper side for auto-negotiating speeds up to Gigabit Ethernet, and 1000Base-SX on the fiber side for Gigabit transmission over multi-mode fiber. This ensures compatibility with a wide range of switches and network equipment.
