Key Product Advantages
The converter simplifies network expansion by transparently bridging between copper and fiber segments without requiring configuration or software. Its plug-and-play operation ensures quick integration into existing Fast Ethernet infrastructures.
Extended Network Reach
Converts copper Ethernet to fiber optic, enabling reliable data transmission up to 2 km with multi-mode fiber, far exceeding standard twisted-pair distance limits.
- Minimizes signal loss over long runs
- Reduces electromagnetic interference risks
Flexible Deployment Options
Supports standalone, wall-mount, DIN rail, or shelf-mount installation, allowing integration into racks, cabinets, or direct wall surfaces without dedicated rack space.
- Compact footprint: 3" W × 4.70" D × 1" H
- Lightweight at approximately 2 lb
Deployment / Use Cases
Ideal for network upgrades where extending copper Ethernet is impractical due to distance, interference, or existing fiber infrastructure. The converter maintains Fast Ethernet speed while leveraging fiber’s durability and reach.
Common applications include linking network switches across separate buildings, connecting remote security cameras or access points, and integrating industrial control systems that require noise-resistant connections.
Office and Campus Extensions
Connect buildings or floors within a campus using existing fiber backbone, extending network access from a central switch to remote offices or equipment rooms over multi-mode fiber.
Industrial and Harsh Environments
Deploy in manufacturing or outdoor settings where fiber’s immunity to electrical noise and longer distance capability improves reliability compared to copper runs.

User Manual
FAQ
What does this media converter do?
The Lantronix E-100BTX-FX-05(HT)-UK converts network signals between a standard RJ-45 copper Ethernet port and an ST multi-mode fiber optic port. It allows you to extend a Fast Ethernet network over fiber cable for distances up to 2 km, bridging copper and fiber segments seamlessly.
What type of fiber cable is compatible?
This converter works with multi-mode fiber optic cables using ST connectors. It operates at a 1300 nm wavelength, which is common for multi-mode fiber applications. Ensure your fiber cable is multi-mode with ST connectors to match the port on the device.
What is the maximum data transfer rate?
The converter supports Fast Ethernet, providing a maximum data transfer rate of 100 Mbit/s. It is compatible with both 100Base-TX (over twisted pair) and 100Base-FX (over fiber) network technologies, maintaining consistent speed across the converted link.
How far can it extend my network?
Using multi-mode fiber, the converter supports a maximum distance of 2 kilometers (approximately 1.24 miles). This extended reach is ideal for connecting network equipment across buildings or long indoor runs where copper Ethernet would exceed its distance limitations.
What power supply is included?
The package includes a power supply designed for United Kingdom electrical outlets. The converter uses an AC/DC power source, ensuring compatibility with standard wall power in regions with UK plug standards. No additional power adapter is required for deployment in the UK.
Can this converter be mounted in a rack?
Yes, the converter supports multiple mounting options. While it is a standalone unit, it can be wall-mounted, attached to a DIN rail, or placed on a shelf. Its compact size (3" W × 4.70" D × 1" H) allows flexible installation in racks, cabinets, or on flat surfaces without dedicated rack ears.
