Product Features
Technical Overview
The C-1000-S2ST40 operates with 10/100/1000Base-T auto-negotiation on the RJ-45 port, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of Ethernet devices from switches to endpoints. On the fiber side, it uses 1000Base-EX technology over single-mode fiber with 9/125 µm core/cladding, supporting transmission distances up to 40 kilometers.
Its internal form factor allows for discreet installation within network racks or enclosures, minimizing footprint. The converter requires no external power adapter, drawing power directly from the connected equipment or network infrastructure, which simplifies deployment and reduces cable clutter.

FAQ
What does this media converter do?
It converts network signals between a copper RJ-45 Ethernet port and a fiber optic ST port, allowing devices with copper interfaces to connect to fiber infrastructure. This enables extended distance coverage up to 40 km while maintaining Gigabit data rates.
What types of fiber cable are compatible?
The converter is compatible with single-mode fiber optic cables that have a 9/125 µm core/cladding specification. It uses duplex ST connectors, so you'll need matching ST-terminated single-mode fiber patches for proper operation.
What is the maximum distance supported?
It supports distances up to 40 kilometers when using single-mode fiber with 1000Base-EX technology. This makes it suitable for long-haul connections between buildings or across large facilities without signal boosters.
Does it require external power?
No, it has an internal form factor and does not need an external power adapter. It draws power directly from the connected network equipment, which simplifies installation and reduces cable clutter in rack deployments.
