FAQ
What does this media converter do?
This converter bridges copper and fiber network segments by converting Fast Ethernet signals between twisted pair (RJ-45) and multi-mode optical fiber (SC). It enables extended network reach up to 2 km on fiber, allowing integration of fiber optic cabling into copper-based networks.
What types of cables does it support?
It supports twisted pair cables (e.g., Cat5e, Cat6) via the RJ-45 port and multi-mode fiber optic cables with SC connectors. This dual-media capability allows flexible network design using both copper and fiber infrastructure.
What is the maximum distance supported?
The converter supports up to 2 km (1.24 miles) over multi-mode fiber optic cable. This extends network connections beyond the typical 100-meter limit of twisted pair cabling, making it suitable for longer-distance applications.
How is it powered?
It operates on DC power, requiring an external DC power adapter (not included). This power method ensures stable operation and compatibility with standard network power supplies.
Can it be mounted in a rack?
Yes, the converter is rail-mountable, allowing installation in standard network racks or enclosures. It can also be used as a standalone unit on flat surfaces, providing deployment flexibility.
Is it TAA compliant?
Yes, this product is TAA compliant, meeting Trade Agreements Act requirements for government and educational procurement in the United States. It is manufactured in Singapore, ensuring eligibility for federal contracts.
