Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates at Gigabit Ethernet speeds, supporting 1000Base-T over twisted pair and 1000Base-X over fiber via the SFP slot. It features one RJ-45 port for copper connectivity and one SFP expansion slot for fiber optic modules, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of network equipment and cabling standards.
The device handles media conversion between twisted pair and optical fiber, accommodating distances up to 0.10 km depending on the installed SFP module and fiber type. Its compact dimensions of 2.76" width and 1.02" height allow for space-efficient deployment in rack, wall, or desktop configurations.
Key Product Advantages
This media converter simplifies network expansion by enabling cost-effective integration of fiber optic segments into existing copper-based networks. Its support for both single-mode and multi-mode fiber through a standard SFP slot provides flexibility for various distance and bandwidth needs without requiring separate dedicated converters.
Flexible Mounting
Rack, wall, or desktop mounting options adapt to diverse installation environments, from data center racks to office closets or industrial control panels.
- Rack-mountable for organized deployments
- Wall mountable for space-constrained areas
- Desktop placement for temporary setups
Media Compatibility
Converts between twisted pair and optical fiber, supporting distances up to 0.10 km with appropriate SFP modules for reliable signal extension across different network segments.
- Twisted pair to fiber conversion
- Single-mode and multi-mode support
- Up to 0.10 km distance capability
Deployment / Use Cases
Deploy this media converter to extend network reach beyond the 100-meter limit of standard copper Ethernet, connecting buildings or floors with fiber optic cabling while maintaining compatibility with existing copper-based switches and devices. It's ideal for scenarios where fiber is required for distance, noise immunity, or security, but endpoint equipment only has copper ports.
Common applications include connecting remote network switches in campus environments, integrating fiber backbone segments into office networks, or linking industrial Ethernet devices in manufacturing facilities where electrical interference is a concern. The multiple mounting options support installation in server racks, network closets, or directly at workstation locations.
Network Extension
Extend Gigabit Ethernet connections up to 0.10 km using fiber optic cabling, overcoming distance limitations of copper while maintaining full bandwidth.
Media Integration
Integrate fiber optic segments into copper-based networks for improved signal quality, security, or to connect geographically separated network segments.
Physical Profile
The converter features a compact, durable design measuring 2.76" wide by 1.02" high, with a weight of approximately 6 oz. Its small footprint and multiple mounting options—rack, wall, or desktop—provide installation flexibility for various environments.
