User Manual
FAQ
What types of media does this converter support?
The Lantronix SGFEB1040-230-OZ supports both twisted pair copper cabling through its RJ-45 port and optical fiber through its two SFP slots. This allows conversion between copper-based network segments and fiber optic connections, enabling integration of different media types within a single network infrastructure.
What is the maximum data transfer rate?
This media converter supports Gigabit Ethernet with a maximum data transfer rate of 1000 Mbit/s. It is compatible with 10/100/1000Base-T networks over copper and 100/1000Base-X networks over fiber, providing full Gigabit performance for both media types.
How far can this converter extend my network?
The converter supports a maximum distance of 0.10 km (0.06 miles) when using fiber optic connections through the SFP slots. This extends network reach beyond typical copper cabling limitations, making it suitable for connecting remote network segments or devices located at distance from the main network infrastructure.
What mounting options are available?
