FAQ
What does this media converter do?
This converter bridges copper and fiber network segments by converting standard RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet signals from twisted pair cabling to 1000BASE-LX single-mode fiber optic signals. It enables high-speed data transmission over distances up to 10 kilometers, extending network coverage beyond the limitations of copper cabling while maintaining Gigabit Ethernet performance.
What type of fiber optic cable and connector does it use?
The converter is designed for single-mode fiber optic cables and uses an SC connector interface. It operates at a 1310 nm wavelength, which is standard for long-distance single-mode fiber communications. This configuration ensures reliable signal integrity over extended runs up to 10 kilometers.
How does the PoE port work on this converter?
The converter includes one PoE (Power over Ethernet) PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) port. This port can deliver both data and electrical power over a single Ethernet cable to compatible devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones. It simplifies installation by eliminating the need for separate power supplies at remote locations.
What is the maximum distance supported by this converter?
The converter supports a maximum distance of 10 kilometers (approximately 6.21 miles) when using single-mode fiber optic cabling. This extended reach makes it suitable for connecting network segments across large campuses, between buildings, or in outdoor installations where copper cabling would be impractical due to distance limitations or environmental factors.
