Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates with an 850 nm wavelength on multimode fiber, supporting distances up to 550 kilometers (341.75 miles). It handles both twisted pair and optical fiber media, making it ideal for extending network reach beyond the 100-meter limit of standard copper cabling. The device is compatible with 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet standards, ensuring seamless integration with existing Gigabit network infrastructure.
The converter's SC port uses a standard push-pull connector for reliable fiber optic connections, while the RJ-45 port supports auto-negotiation for easy plug-and-play setup. Its compact form factor and versatile power options allow for deployment in space-constrained locations, such as network closets or remote enclosures.
