Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter integrates Fast Ethernet technology, delivering data transfer rates up to 100 Mbps over optical fiber. It supports both 10/100Base-T for copper connections and 100Base-BX-D for fiber, ensuring compatibility with existing network infrastructures. The device features two ports: one RJ-45 port for twisted pair connections and one ST port for single-mode fiber, enabling seamless conversion between media types.
The internal form factor allows for straightforward installation within compatible chassis or enclosures, minimizing energy consumption and physical footprint. Environmentally friendly construction and a lifetime warranty from Perle underscore its reliability for continuous operation in demanding networking scenarios.
This section brings together practical product details such as Total Number of Ports, Network (RJ-45), DVI, Media Type Supported, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
This converter excels in extending network reach without compromising signal quality, leveraging single-mode fiber to overcome the distance limitations inherent to copper cabling. Its managed capabilities provide oversight for stable link management, though it lacks a dedicated management port, focusing instead on core conversion reliability.
These strengths make the product easier to deploy and manage in real environments, especially where reliability, usability, and day-to-day operational continuity matter. Notable benefits include 20 km Distance Support, Single-mode Fiber, Fast Ethernet 100 Mbps, Internal Installation.
Deployment / Use Cases
Deploy this media converter in scenarios where network segments need to span beyond the effective range of copper Ethernet, such as connecting buildings across a campus, linking remote industrial equipment, or integrating fiber backbones into existing copper-based networks. Its internal design makes it ideal for integration into rack-mounted systems or enclosed networking environments.
Common applications include extending LANs over long distances in educational institutions, manufacturing plants, or corporate offices, where maintaining data integrity and minimizing latency are critical. The converter also supports attaching multiple devices or expanding device connections by bridging copper and fiber segments efficiently.
Physical Profile
The converter has an internal form factor, designed for installation within compatible networking hardware rather than as a standalone unit. It weighs approximately 5.29 ounces (150 grams), contributing to a lightweight and compact profile that fits seamlessly into chassis slots without adding significant bulk or power demands.
