Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates on Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) technology using the 100Base-LX standard, which is optimized for long-distance fiber optic communication. The SC single-mode fiber port transmits data at a 1310 nm wavelength, ensuring minimal signal loss and high bandwidth efficiency over extended runs. The converter accepts AC/DC power input, providing flexibility in installation scenarios where standard power sources may vary.
The device features two ports total: one RJ-45 port with PoE PSE capability and one SC fiber port. This configuration allows it to connect a PoE-powered device to a fiber network backbone, or to convert between copper and fiber segments in a mixed-media topology. The 100 Mbps throughput is suitable for applications requiring stable, moderate-speed data transfer without the latency or interference concerns associated with longer copper cable runs.
Key Product Advantages
The Axiom media converter delivers several practical benefits for network expansion and fiber integration projects. Its PoE capability eliminates the need for separate power supplies at remote device locations, reducing installation complexity and cost. The 10 km reach over single-mode fiber enables connectivity across large facilities, between buildings, or in outdoor deployments where copper limitations would otherwise require repeaters or additional infrastructure.
Extended Distance Coverage
Supports network runs up to 10 kilometers (6.21 miles) using single-mode fiber, far exceeding the 100-meter limit of standard Cat5e/Cat6 copper cabling.
- Ideal for campus links
- Reduces signal degradation
- Minimizes latency over long spans
PoE-Powered Device Support
The integrated PoE PSE port delivers power to compatible endpoints, enabling single-cable connectivity for devices like surveillance cameras or wireless APs.
- Simplifies remote installations
- Reduces power outlet requirements
- Enhances deployment flexibility
Reliable Fiber Conversion
Converts 100Base-LX fiber signals to 100 Mbps Ethernet over twisted pair, maintaining data integrity and immunity to electromagnetic interference.
- SC connector for secure attachment
- 1310 nm wavelength for efficient transmission
- Supports mixed media networks
Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is well-suited for scenarios where network extension beyond copper limitations is required, or where fiber optic backbone integration is necessary. Common applications include connecting remote security cameras or access points in parking lots, warehouses, or across large properties, where the 10 km fiber reach and PoE support provide a clean, efficient solution.
In educational or corporate campus environments, the converter can link buildings via existing fiber infrastructure while supplying power to edge devices. It also serves in industrial settings to bridge noisy electrical areas with sensitive network equipment, leveraging fiber's immunity to interference. For network upgrades, it allows gradual migration from copper to fiber without replacing entire cabling systems, supporting legacy 100 Mbps devices while future-proofing the backbone.

FAQ
What is the maximum distance this media converter supports over fiber?
The Axiom media converter supports a maximum distance of 10 kilometers (approximately 6.21 miles) when used with single-mode fiber optic cabling. This extended reach is enabled by the 100Base-LX network technology and 1310 nm wavelength, which minimize signal attenuation over long spans, making it suitable for connecting remote buildings or outdoor devices without signal degradation.
Does this converter provide Power over Ethernet (PoE) to connected devices?
Yes, this converter includes one PoE PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) port on the RJ-45 side. This port can deliver power to compatible PoE devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones, eliminating the need for separate power supplies at the endpoint location and simplifying installation in areas without readily available electrical outlets.
What type of fiber connector and cable does this media converter use?
The converter uses an SC connector for the fiber optic interface and is designed for single-mode fiber cables. It operates at a 1310 nm wavelength, which is standard for long-distance single-mode applications. Ensure you use SC-terminated single-mode fiber cables rated for 1310 nm to achieve the advertised 10 km distance and optimal performance.
What is the data transfer rate of this media converter?
This media converter supports Fast Ethernet technology with a data transfer rate of 100 Mbps. It uses the 100Base-LX standard for fiber optic transmission, providing reliable and consistent throughput suitable for applications like video surveillance, basic data transfer, or network extension where gigabit speeds are not required but distance and stability are priorities.
