Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is ideal for environments requiring extended network reach beyond typical copper limitations. It effectively bridges fiber backbone segments with copper-based edge devices, making it suitable for campus networks, industrial settings, and surveillance systems.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting remote buildings via fiber while maintaining copper connectivity for local devices, integrating fiber optic security cameras into existing Ethernet networks, and extending network segments in manufacturing or warehouse facilities where electromagnetic interference is a concern.
Building-to-Building Connectivity
Use this converter to connect network segments between separate buildings using fiber optic cable for distances up to 3 km, while maintaining copper ports for local device connections.
Industrial Network Integration
Deploy in manufacturing environments where fiber optic cable provides immunity to electrical noise, converting to copper Ethernet for PLCs, sensors, and control devices.
Physical Profile
The converter features a compact design measuring 1.10" (27.94 mm) in height, 3.70" (93.98 mm) in width, and 4.10" (104.14 mm) in depth. This small footprint allows for flexible placement on desktops, in network racks, or alongside other equipment without consuming excessive space.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.10" (27.94 mm), 3.70" (93.98 mm), 4.10" (104.14 mm). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
