Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter features two 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 ports for copper connections and one SC multi-mode fiber port operating at 850 nm wavelength, supporting distances up to 2 km. It uses Fast Ethernet technology to maintain consistent 100 Mbps throughput across both media types, ensuring no bottleneck in data transmission.
The 24V DC power input provides flexible power options, compatible with standard industrial power supplies. Its small form factor—measuring 3.5" H x 3" W x 1" D and weighing only 4.8 oz—allows for dense installations without sacrificing performance.
This section brings together practical product details such as Total Number of Ports, Network (RJ-45), Number of Network (RJ-45) Ports, Media Type Supported, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
This converter excels in environments where network reliability is critical, offering robust construction and compliance with industrial standards. Its ability to extend Ethernet over fiber up to 2 km eliminates distance limitations of copper cabling, while the dual RJ-45 ports provide switching functionality for local devices.
Industrial Durability
Built to withstand extreme temperatures and harsh conditions, ensuring continuous operation in manufacturing plants, outdoor installations, or utility settings.
- -40 to +75°C operating range
- Dust and dirt resistant design
Easy Integration
The DIN rail mount kit simplifies installation in standard industrial racks, saving space and reducing setup time compared to bulky alternatives.
- Includes mounting hardware
- Compact 3.5" x 3" x 1" footprint
Deployment / Use Cases
Ideal for extending network segments between buildings or across large facilities where fiber optic cabling is already deployed or required for distance. It converts fiber backbone connections to copper for end devices like IP cameras, access points, or PLCs.
Common applications include industrial automation networks, security systems with remote cameras, campus Wi-Fi deployments, and utility SCADA systems. The converter also serves in data center edge deployments where fiber links connect to copper-based equipment racks.
Industrial Automation
Connect PLCs, sensors, and HMIs across factory floors using fiber for noise immunity and long-distance runs, with local copper drops for devices.
Security & Surveillance
Extend network reach to remote IP cameras over fiber, then use RJ-45 ports for local switches or NVR connections in control rooms.
Physical Profile
The converter's compact dimensions and lightweight design make it easy to install in space-constrained environments. The DIN rail mountable form factor ensures secure attachment in industrial cabinets, while the small footprint allows for high-density deployments. The unit's construction supports reliable operation without requiring additional cooling or special mounting considerations.
