Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates at Layer 2, transparently converting electrical signals from copper Ethernet to optical signals for fiber transmission and vice versa. It supports auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDIX on the copper port, simplifying deployment by eliminating manual configuration for speed, duplex, or cable type.
The dual SFP slots accept industry-standard Small Form-factor Pluggable transceivers, allowing network administrators to select the appropriate fiber type (single-mode or multi-mode) and connector style (LC, SC, etc.) for their specific distance and infrastructure requirements. This modular approach future-proofs the investment as fiber technology evolves.
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.
Key Product Advantages
The SGFEB1040-230 delivers reliable media conversion with minimal power draw and maximum deployment flexibility. Its design prioritizes operational simplicity while maintaining enterprise-grade performance standards.
Versatile Media Support
Simultaneously supports twisted pair copper cables and optical fiber connections through its RJ-45 port and SFP slots. This dual-media capability enables cost-effective network extensions using existing copper infrastructure while adding fiber segments for noise immunity or longer distances.
- Twisted pair for short runs
- Fiber for EMI-resistant long runs
- Mixed media in single device
Flexible Deployment Options
Four distinct mounting methods accommodate virtually any installation scenario. The compact chassis can be wall-mounted with included hardware, rack-mounted using optional brackets, DIN-rail mounted in industrial panels, or placed standalone on a shelf.
- Wall mount for space efficiency
- Rack mount for data centers
- DIN-rail for industrial use
Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter excels in environments where different network media types must coexist or where distance requirements exceed copper Ethernet limitations. Its compact size and low power consumption make it particularly suitable for distributed network deployments.
In industrial settings, the converter enables fiber connectivity to withstand electromagnetic interference from machinery while maintaining connectivity to copper-based PLCs or sensors. In office buildings, it extends network segments between floors or wings using existing fiber backbone infrastructure while providing copper drops to workstations or access points.
Fiber Backbone Integration
Connect copper-based network switches or routers to fiber backbone segments. The converter maintains Gigabit throughput while providing electrical-to-optical conversion, enabling longer runs between network closets or buildings without signal degradation.
Industrial Network Extension
Deploy in manufacturing environments where EMI resistance is critical. Fiber segments between control rooms and factory floor equipment eliminate ground loop issues and noise susceptibility while the copper port connects to legacy industrial devices.
Physical Profile
The compact chassis measures just 1 inch in height, 3.25 inches in width, and 4.80 inches in depth, with a weight of approximately 2 pounds. This slim profile allows installation in tight spaces while the metal construction ensures durability in operational environments. The front panel features status LEDs for power, link activity, and speed indication, providing at-a-glance operational status monitoring.

User Manual
FAQ
What types of network media does this converter support?
The Lantronix SGFEB1040-230 supports both twisted pair copper cables through its RJ-45 port and optical fiber connections through its two SFP slots. This allows conversion between copper Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-T) and fiber Ethernet (100/1000Base-X) standards, enabling mixed-media network deployments.
How many SFP slots does this media converter have?
This converter features two SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) expansion slots. These slots accept industry-standard SFP transceivers, allowing you to select the appropriate fiber type (single-mode or multi-mode), wavelength, and connector style (LC, SC, etc.) for your specific network requirements and distance needs.
What is the maximum distance supported by this converter?
The converter supports network extensions up to 0.10 kilometers (0.06 miles) when using appropriate media. The actual maximum distance depends on the specific SFP transceiver installed and the fiber type used. For copper connections through the RJ-45 port, standard Ethernet distance limitations apply.
What mounting options are available for this device?
The SGFEB1040-230 offers four mounting configurations: wall mounting using included hardware, rack mounting with optional brackets, DIN-rail mounting for industrial panels, and standalone placement on a shelf. This flexibility allows installation in data centers, network closets, industrial control panels, or any location with space constraints.
What power supply is included with this converter?
The package includes a power supply configured for South African electrical standards. The converter operates on AC power via the included adapter and consumes only 2.20 watts during normal operation, making it energy-efficient for always-on deployments.
What warranty coverage does this product include?
Lantronix provides a lifetime limited warranty for the SGFEB1040-230 media converter. This extensive warranty coverage demonstrates the product's reliability and the manufacturer's confidence in its long-term performance in network infrastructure deployments.
