Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates with a 1310 nm wavelength on single-mode fiber, achieving a maximum reach of 20 kilometers (12.43 miles). It maintains Gigabit Ethernet performance across both interfaces, auto-negotiating on the RJ-45 side to 10/100/1000Base-TX standards while delivering consistent 1000 Mbps data rates over the fiber link.
The ST port uses a duplex connector design for simultaneous transmit and receive signals, ensuring full-duplex communication without signal degradation. DC power input provides stable operation, and the device includes a one-year limited warranty for reliable deployment in professional settings.

FAQ
What does this media converter do?
This converter bridges Gigabit Ethernet copper networks with single-mode fiber optic infrastructure. It converts signals between a standard RJ-45 port and a duplex ST fiber port, enabling data transmission over distances up to 20 kilometers where copper cabling is insufficient.
What is the maximum distance supported?
The converter supports a maximum distance of 20 kilometers (12.43 miles) over single-mode fiber. This extended reach makes it suitable for connecting remote buildings, campus networks, or equipment located far from the main network hub.
What type of fiber and connectors does it use?
It uses single-mode fiber with a duplex ST connector. The 1310 nm wavelength optimizes performance for long-distance transmission, and the duplex ST design ensures separate transmit and receive channels for full-duplex communication.
What network speeds does it support?
It supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) across both interfaces. The RJ-45 port auto-negotiates 10/100/1000Base-TX, while the fiber side uses 1000Base-LX technology to maintain full throughput over the optical link.
