Product Features
Technical Overview
The EN-MMC-SFPSFP operates at Gigabit Ethernet speeds, supporting 10/100/1000Base-T over twisted pair and 1000Base-X over fiber. This dual-technology support ensures compatibility with existing network infrastructure while providing a path to fiber upgrades.
The device includes two SFP slots for hot-swappable transceiver modules, offering flexibility in fiber type, wavelength, and distance based on specific deployment needs. The single RJ-45 port auto-negotiates speed and duplex settings, simplifying copper-side configuration.
Key Product Advantages
This media converter excels in environments requiring reliable media conversion with extended reach. Its design prioritizes operational simplicity and long-term reliability.
Flexible Media Support
Supports both twisted pair and optical fiber, enabling seamless transitions between copper and fiber segments without network redesign.
- Twisted pair for local connections
- Fiber for long-distance or noisy environments
Extended Network Reach
With a maximum distance of 120 km over fiber, it eliminates distance limitations of copper cabling, ideal for connecting remote buildings or industrial sites.
- 120 km maximum distance
- Reduces need for repeaters
Modular SFP Design
Two SFP slots allow customization with different transceiver modules, adapting to single-mode, multimode, or specific wavelength requirements.
- Hot-swappable modules
- Future-proof fiber upgrades
Deployment / Use Cases
The EN-MMC-SFPSFP is ideal for network expansions where copper and fiber segments must interoperate. Its high distance capability and media flexibility suit diverse deployment scenarios.
Common use cases include extending LAN connections between buildings in a campus, integrating fiber backbones into existing copper networks, and providing noise immunity in industrial settings. The converter also serves in data center edge deployments where fiber uplinks connect to copper-based access switches.
Campus Network Extension
Connect buildings up to 120 km apart using fiber, while maintaining copper connections within each building for end-device access.
Industrial Networking
Use fiber segments for noise immunity in manufacturing environments, converting to copper for PLCs or local devices.
