Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates at Fast Ethernet speeds (100Mbps) and supports both 10/100Base-TX over twisted pair and 100Base-FX over single-mode fiber. The single SC fiber port provides reliable optical connectivity for distances beyond copper limitations, while the RJ-45 port handles standard Ethernet connections with PoE+ capability.
The converter requires an external power supply for operation and features a compact design that occupies minimal rack space. With no management port, it functions as a transparent layer 2 device, making it simple to deploy without complex configuration.
This section brings together practical product details such as Total Number of Ports, Network (RJ-45), DVI, Media Type Supported, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages

- Supports wireless access points
- Eliminates separate power supplies
Space-Efficient Design
The mini form factor and rail-mount capability optimize installation in confined spaces.
- Fits standard DIN rails
- Minimal footprint
- Easy to integrate into existing panels
Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is specifically designed for industrial and commercial applications where network extension beyond copper limitations is required. It effectively bridges the gap between copper-based network segments and fiber optic backbone connections.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting remote security cameras in parking lots or perimeter fencing, extending network access to warehouse wireless systems, or linking control room equipment to field devices in manufacturing environments. The PoE+ capability makes it particularly valuable for powering edge devices in locations where AC power is unavailable or impractical to install.
Security & Surveillance
Extend network connectivity to remote IP cameras while providing power through the same cable.
Industrial Automation
Connect PLCs, sensors, and control devices across manufacturing floors using fiber for noise immunity.
Physical Profile
The converter features a compact mini form factor measuring 3.70 inches wide, 4 inches deep, and 1 inch high. Its rail-mountable design allows for secure installation on standard DIN rails in industrial control panels or network cabinets. The small footprint makes efficient use of limited space while providing all necessary connectivity options.
