Product Features
Technical Overview
Technically, this converter handles media conversion between 10/100Base-TX over twisted pair and 100Base-FX over multi-mode fiber optic cable. It operates at a 1310 nm wavelength, which is standard for multi-mode fiber applications, and supports transmission distances up to 2 kilometers (1.24 miles), effectively overcoming the distance limitations of standard copper Ethernet.
The device features one RJ-45 port for copper connectivity and one SC duplex port for fiber optic connections, ensuring a clear conversion path. It is powered by an external power supply with a low power draw of 2.50 watts, contributing to energy-efficient network operations.
This section brings together practical product details such as Total Number of Ports, Network (RJ-45), Number of Network (RJ-45) Ports, Media Type Supported, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

Deployment / Use Cases
The M/E-ISW-FX-02(SC) is well-suited for scenarios where network segments need to span beyond the reach of copper cabling or where fiber's immunity to electromagnetic interference is critical. It acts as a practical solution for extending LAN connections between buildings, across industrial floors, or in environments with high electrical noise.
Common use cases include connecting network switches in separate buildings within a campus, linking control systems in manufacturing plants where machinery generates interference, or integrating fiber backbone segments into older copper-based office networks. Its rail-mount capability makes it ideal for installation in electrical panels or industrial control cabinets alongside other equipment.
Building-to-Building Links
Extend network connections between structures using fiber for distances up to 2 km, avoiding the cost and limitations of long copper runs.
Industrial Networking
Deploy in factories or plants to connect devices across noisy environments, leveraging fiber's immunity to EMI for reliable data transfer.
