Product Features
Technical Overview
The converter operates with single-mode fiber, utilizing wavelengths of 1310 nm and 1550 nm to achieve a maximum supported distance of 20 kilometers. This makes it suitable for long-haul network extensions where copper cabling would be impractical or limited by distance constraints.
It features a total of two ports: one RJ-45 port for twisted pair copper connections and one Duplex ST port for fiber optic cabling. The fiber port uses a 9/125 µm core/cladding specification, ensuring compatibility with standard single-mode fiber cables.
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.
