Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates at the physical layer, transparently converting electrical signals from twisted pair copper to optical signals for single-mode fiber transmission. It uses 1310 nm wavelength optics with 9/125 µm fiber core/cladding specifications, providing reliable long-distance connectivity with minimal signal loss.
The unit features store-and-forward switching with a 2K MAC address table capacity, supporting jumbo frames up to 10K bytes for improved throughput in data-intensive applications. Network management is simplified with auto-negotiation and auto MDI/MDIX on the copper port, plus Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) support to reduce power consumption during low traffic periods.
Key Product Advantages
The MMC2000LX/LC converter delivers reliable fiber extension for copper networks without requiring costly switch upgrades or complex configuration. Its extended temperature rating makes it suitable for industrial environments and outdoor enclosures where temperature fluctuations are common.
Reliable Fiber Connectivity
Far End Fault detection on the fiber port provides immediate notification of link failures, while transparent handling of IEEE 802.1Q VLAN packets ensures compatibility with modern network architectures.
- Far End Fault detection
- VLAN packet transparency
- Link/Activity LEDs per port
Deployment Flexibility
The compact design supports both wall mounting and standard rack installation, with a small footprint that conserves valuable space in network closets, IDF rooms, or equipment cabinets.
- Wall mountable
- Rack-mountable
- Compact footprint
Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is particularly valuable in scenarios where existing copper infrastructure needs to be extended beyond its 100-meter limitation. Educational campuses can use it to connect buildings across large grounds, while manufacturing facilities benefit from the electrical noise immunity of fiber in industrial environments.
Telecommunications installations often deploy these converters to bridge the last mile between fiber backbones and copper-based customer premises equipment. The extended temperature range also makes it suitable for transportation infrastructure, utility substations, and outdoor wireless access point deployments where environmental conditions vary significantly.
Physical Profile
Measuring just 2.16 inches wide by 4 inches deep by 0.86 inches high, the MMC2000LX/LC converter occupies minimal space in any installation. The compact design includes integrated mounting options for both wall and rack deployment, with a lightweight 6-ounce construction that simplifies handling during installation. The unit's small form factor makes it ideal for space-constrained environments like network cabinets, wall boxes, or industrial control panels.

FAQ
What types of connections does this media converter support?
This converter has two ports: one standard RJ-45 port for copper Ethernet connections (supporting 10/100/1000Base-T) and one LC port for single-mode fiber connections (supporting 1000Base-LX). It converts between these two media types while maintaining Gigabit Ethernet speeds.
What is the maximum distance supported by this fiber converter?
The MMC2000LX/LC supports fiber connections up to 20 kilometers (approximately 12.43 miles) when using single-mode fiber with 9/125 µm core/cladding specifications. This significant distance extension makes it ideal for connecting network segments across campuses, between buildings, or in large industrial facilities.
What fiber specifications does this converter require?
This converter requires single-mode fiber optic cable with LC connectors. It operates at 1310 nm wavelength and is designed for 9/125 µm fiber core/cladding specifications. These are standard single-mode fiber parameters commonly used in long-distance network installations.
Can this converter be mounted in a rack?
Yes, the MMC2000LX/LC supports both wall mounting and standard rack installation. Its compact dimensions of 2.16" W × 4" D × 0.86" H (54.86 × 101.60 × 21.84 mm) and lightweight 6-ounce design make it easy to install in network racks, cabinets, or wall-mounted enclosures.
What power source does this media converter use?
The converter includes an AC power supply unit (PSU) that provides the necessary power for operation. The unit supports Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), which reduces power consumption during periods of low network activity, making it more energy-efficient in deployments where continuous full throughput isn't required.
Is this media converter suitable for industrial environments?
Yes, with an extended temperature rating of -40°C to 70°C (-40°F to 158°F), this converter is designed to operate reliably in harsh environmental conditions. This makes it suitable for industrial facilities, outdoor installations, transportation infrastructure, and other applications where temperature fluctuations exceed typical office environment ranges.
