FAQ
What does this media converter do?
This media converter bridges copper and fiber network segments by converting 10/100Base-TX Ethernet signals from an RJ-45 port to 100Base-LX optical signals through an ST duplex fiber port. It enables reliable connectivity over distances up to 20 km, extending network reach beyond the limitations of standard copper cabling.
What types of ports does it have?
The converter has two ports: one RJ-45 port for copper Ethernet connections and one ST duplex fiber port for optical connections. The ST port uses a duplex configuration to support bidirectional data transmission, ensuring proper alignment and signal integrity over fiber optic cables.
How far can it transmit data over fiber?
It supports maximum transmission distances of up to 20 kilometers (approximately 12.43 miles) over fiber optic cables when using 100Base-LX technology. This extended reach makes it suitable for connecting network equipment across large campuses, industrial sites, or between buildings.
Is internal installation required?
No, internal installation is not required. The converter features an external form factor, allowing for plug-and-play operation without the need for PCIe slots or internal mounting. This simplifies deployment and makes it easy to integrate into existing network setups.
