FAQ
What does this media converter do?
It converts 10 Gigabit Ethernet signals from an RJ45 copper port to 10GBASE-LR optical fiber, allowing you to extend network connections over single-mode fiber up to 20 kilometers. This bridges copper and fiber segments in a network.
What type of fiber and connectors does it support?
The converter supports single-mode fiber optic cable with duplex LC connectors. It operates at a 1310 nm wavelength, which is standard for long-distance single-mode applications, ensuring compatibility with common fiber infrastructure.
How far can it transmit data?
It supports a maximum distance of 20 kilometers (about 12.43 miles) over single-mode fiber. This makes it suitable for connecting network equipment across buildings or campuses where copper cabling would be insufficient.
Is it rack-mountable?
Yes, the converter features a rack-mountable form factor, allowing it to be installed in standard network racks. It is also hot-swappable, so you can replace it without shutting down the network, and it can be used standalone if needed.
