Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates at Fast Ethernet speeds, supporting both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps data transfer rates over twisted pair cable. The fiber interface utilizes ST connectors with multi-mode fiber support, compatible with 62.5/125 µm, 100/140 µm, 50/125 µm, and 85/125 µm core/cladding specifications.
The conversion process is completely transparent to network traffic, requiring no configuration or management overhead. The unmanaged operation ensures plug-and-play functionality while maintaining signal integrity across the media transition.
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

- 2 km maximum distance
- Multi-mode fiber support
- 1310/1550 nm wavelengths
Simplified Integration
The internal form factor and unmanaged operation enable straightforward installation into existing network infrastructure without requiring additional management interfaces or configuration tools.
- Plug-and-play functionality
- No management port required
- Internal mounting design
Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is specifically designed for network environments where extending copper Ethernet segments via fiber optic cabling is necessary. The 2-kilometer reach makes it suitable for connecting buildings, extending network coverage across campuses, or bridging network segments in industrial settings where electromagnetic interference is a concern.
Common deployment scenarios include integrating fiber backbone connections into copper-based network closets, extending network connectivity between floors in large buildings, and connecting remote network equipment in warehouse or manufacturing environments. The internal form factor makes it particularly suitable for installation in network racks, cabinets, or enclosures where external converters would consume valuable space.
Physical Profile
Designed with an internal form factor, this media converter integrates seamlessly into network infrastructure without occupying external space. The compact design and lightweight construction at 5.29 ounces (150 grams) facilitate installation in constrained environments while maintaining reliable operation.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 5.29 oz (150 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
