Deployment / Use Cases
Deploy this media converter to connect copper-based network switches, routers, or workstations to a fiber optic backbone. It is ideal for extending network segments between buildings, across manufacturing floors, or in environments with high electrical noise where copper performance degrades.
Common applications include linking Ethernet devices in industrial automation, connecting security cameras over long distances, integrating fiber runs in campus networks, and upgrading legacy copper infrastructure without replacing endpoint equipment.
Industrial Networking
Use in factories or warehouses to connect PLCs, HMIs, or sensors to a central network over fiber, ensuring reliable communication in electrically noisy conditions.
Building-to-Building Links
Establish connections between separate structures using fiber for lightning protection and distance, with the converter interfacing to copper ports on local switches.
Physical Profile
The converter features a sturdy, compact metal enclosure designed for durability in operational environments. Its small form factor and multiple mounting options—including wall, DIN rail, rack, shelf, and standalone—provide installation versatility. The unit's lightweight design simplifies handling during deployment.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1" (25.40 mm), 3.25" (82.55 mm), 4.80" (121.92 mm), 2 lb (907.18 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
