Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates at Fast Ethernet speeds with support for both 100Base-TX over twisted pair cabling and 100Base-FX over fiber optic cabling. The single RJ-45 port handles copper connections while the open SFP slot accommodates industry-standard small form-factor pluggable modules for fiber connectivity.
The converter supports transmission distances up to 0.10 kilometers (0.06 miles) when using appropriate fiber media, effectively extending network segments beyond typical copper limitations. The standalone form factor and external power supply simplify installation in various environments without specialized mounting hardware.
Key Product Advantages
This media converter delivers essential fiber extension capabilities in a compact, easy-to-deploy package. The open SFP slot represents a significant advantage, providing flexibility to select appropriate fiber modules based on specific network requirements rather than being locked into a fixed fiber interface.

FAQ
What does this media converter actually convert?
This converter transforms network signals between 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet over twisted pair copper cabling and 100Base-FX Fast Ethernet over fiber optic cabling. It enables seamless communication between copper-based network equipment and fiber optic network segments while maintaining 100Mbps data transfer rates.
What type of SFP modules can I use with this converter?
The open SFP slot accepts industry-standard small form-factor pluggable modules that support 100Base-FX Fast Ethernet over fiber. You can select appropriate SFP transceivers based on your specific fiber type (single-mode or multi-mode), distance requirements, and connector style (LC, SC, etc.) to match your existing fiber infrastructure.
How far can this converter extend my network connection?
When using appropriate fiber optic cabling and SFP modules, this converter supports transmission distances up to 0.10 kilometers (approximately 0.06 miles). This represents a significant extension beyond typical copper cable limitations, making it suitable for connecting network equipment across buildings or between distant locations within a facility.
What power source does this converter require?
The converter operates on DC power supplied through an external power adapter. This power method provides reliable operation while maintaining the compact standalone form factor. The external power supply simplifies installation without requiring specialized power infrastructure or rack-mounted power distribution.
