Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates with store-and-forward switching architecture, ensuring data integrity by checking each frame before forwarding. It handles jumbo packets up to 10K bytes and maintains a 2K MAC address table for efficient network traffic management.
The copper port features Auto Negotiation and Auto MDI/MDIX, eliminating the need for crossover cables. The fiber port implements Far End Fault detection to alert administrators of link failures on the remote end. Both ports include Link/Activity LEDs for immediate status monitoring.
This section brings together practical product details such as Total Number of Ports, Network (RJ-45), Number of LC Ports, Media Type Supported, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

FAQ
What types of connections does this media converter support?
The converter features one RJ-45 port for standard copper Ethernet cabling and one LC port for multi-mode fiber optic connections. It converts between these two media types while maintaining Gigabit Ethernet performance across both interfaces.
What is the maximum distance supported over fiber?
This media converter supports distances up to 0.5 kilometers (0.31 miles) over 50/125 µm or 62.5/125 µm multi-mode fiber optic cable when operating at 850 nm wavelength. This extends network reach well beyond the 100-meter limitation of standard copper Ethernet cabling.
Does this converter require any configuration?
No configuration is required for basic operation. The copper port features Auto Negotiation and Auto MDI/MDIX, automatically detecting speed and duplex settings while eliminating the need for crossover cables. The converter operates transparently once connected to both copper and fiber networks.
What power source does this media converter use?
The converter is powered by the included AC adapter. It does not support Power over Ethernet or DC power input. The AC power supply is provided in the package for immediate deployment in standard electrical outlet environments.
Can this converter be mounted in a rack?
Yes, the converter supports both wall mounting and rack mounting. The compact form factor allows installation using the included wall mounting hardware or with optional rack mounting kits. The small footprint makes it suitable for telecom closets, data center edges, or control panel installations.
What fiber cable types are compatible with this converter?
The converter works with standard 50/125 µm or 62.5/125 µm multi-mode fiber optic cables terminated with LC connectors. It operates at 850 nm wavelength, which is the most common specification for multi-mode fiber installations in enterprise and campus environments.
