User Manual
FAQ
What does this media converter do?
This media converter bridges between copper Ethernet and fiber optic connections. It converts signals from an RJ-45 twisted-pair port to an LC duplex multi-mode fiber port, allowing you to integrate fiber segments into copper-based networks for extended distance or improved durability.
What types of fiber does it support?
It supports multi-mode fiber with a core/cladding specification of 50/62.5/125 µm. This is compatible with common multi-mode fiber optic cables used in many enterprise and industrial networks for short to medium-distance runs.
What Ethernet speeds does it handle?
It supports Gigabit Ethernet, including 10/100/1000Base-TX on the copper side and 1000Base-SX on the fiber side. This ensures full Gigabit throughput for both media types, suitable for high-speed data transfer applications.
How is this media converter powered?
It is powered by an external AC adapter (included), with a low power consumption of 1.20 watts. This makes it energy-efficient and suitable for deployment where power availability may be limited or where minimizing energy use is a priority.
What mounting options are available?
It is designed for rail-mountable and wall-mountable installation. The package includes a DIN rail clip for mounting on standard industrial rails, and its compact size allows for easy wall mounting in cabinets or enclosures for flexible deployment.
Is this media converter managed or unmanaged?
It is an unmanaged media converter, meaning it operates as a simple, plug-and-play device without configuration or management interfaces. This makes it easy to deploy for basic conversion tasks, though it lacks advanced features like monitoring or VLAN support.
