FAQ
What types of Ethernet does this media converter support?
The Lantronix S3100-4040-JP supports both Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) and 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet (2.5 GbE). It converts these copper‑based Ethernet signals to optical fiber using 100Base-X and 2.5GBase-X network technologies, allowing seamless integration between different network segments.
How many SFP slots does the converter have, and what are they for?
This converter includes two SFP (Small Form‑factor Pluggable) slots. These slots accept industry‑standard SFP optical transceivers, which determine the fiber type (single‑mode or multimode) and link distance. The dual‑slot design provides flexibility for bidirectional fiber connections or future upgrades.
What power supply is included, and what are the power requirements?
The package includes an AC/DC power supply configured for Japan. The converter itself operates on a low 3 W power draw, making it suitable for energy‑sensitive installations. The AC/DC design allows compatibility with typical wall outlets or DC power sources in industrial settings.
Can this converter be mounted in a rack or on a wall?
Yes, the S3100-4040-JP supports multiple mounting options. It can be used as a standalone unit, rack‑mounted in a standard enclosure, wall‑mounted, mounted on a DIN rail, or placed on a shelf. This flexibility makes it adaptable to office, data center, and industrial environments.
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported?
The converter supports a maximum data transfer rate of 2.50 Gbit/s (2.5 GbE). This speed is achieved when using 2.5GBase-X network technology over optical fiber, providing high‑throughput links for modern network applications while maintaining backward compatibility with 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet.
