Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates with 100Base-FX technology over fiber and 10/100Base-TX over copper, ensuring seamless integration into existing Fast Ethernet infrastructures. The single-mode fiber interface uses a 1310 nm wavelength, which is optimal for long-distance transmission with minimal signal loss.
The device supports a maximum distance of 20 kilometers over fiber, significantly extending network reach beyond the limitations of standard twisted-pair cabling. It maintains data integrity across this extended range, making it suitable for connecting remote buildings, campus networks, or industrial control systems.
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.
