Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates at Layer 2, transparently converting Ethernet frames between copper and fiber media. The ST port uses a duplex connector type, ensuring full-duplex communication for optimal throughput. It supports multimode fiber cables with 62.5/125 µm and 50/125 µm core/cladding specifications, as well as singlemode fiber with 9/125 µm, offering flexibility for various fiber installations.
The device automatically negotiates speed and duplex settings on the copper side (10/100/1000Base-T) while maintaining a fixed 1000Base-LX configuration on the fiber side. This plug-and-play functionality minimizes configuration overhead, making deployment straightforward even in complex network environments.
Key Product Advantages
Extended Network Reach
Convert copper Ethernet to fiber optic to overcome the 100-meter limitation of Cat5e/Cat6 cables. Achieve reliable connections up to 10 kilometers, ideal for connecting buildings, industrial sites, or remote network segments.
- 10 km maximum distance
- Fiber immunity to EMI/RFI
- ST duplex connector for stable links
Simplified Integration
The internal form factor and lightweight design allow for easy installation inside network cabinets, switches, or other equipment. No external power adapter is required when powered through the host device.
- 150 g weight for minimal load
- Internal mounting saves space
- Environmentally friendly construction
Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is particularly valuable in scenarios where network segments need to span distances beyond typical copper Ethernet limits. Common applications include connecting separate buildings on a campus, extending networks across manufacturing floors with high electrical noise, or linking network equipment in data centers where fiber backbone connectivity is required.
The converter also serves in network modernization projects, allowing organizations to incrementally adopt fiber optics without wholesale replacement of existing copper infrastructure. Its compatibility with multiple fiber types (62.5/125 µm, 50/125 µm, 9/125 µm) ensures it works with most installed fiber cabling systems.
Building-to-Building Connectivity
Connect network switches between separate structures using existing fiber conduits or new fiber runs. The 10 km distance support covers most campus and industrial park requirements.
Industrial Network Extension
Deploy in manufacturing environments where electromagnetic interference from machinery can disrupt copper Ethernet. Fiber optic conversion maintains signal integrity in electrically noisy conditions.
Physical Profile
The CM-1110-S2ST10 features an internal form factor designed for installation within compatible network equipment or enclosures. With an approximate weight of 150 grams, it adds minimal load to host devices. The compact design conserves space while providing robust conversion capabilities. The device is manufactured in Canada and meets environmental standards for reduced ecological impact.

FAQ
What does this media converter actually do?
This converter bridges copper Ethernet and fiber optic networks. It takes Ethernet signals from a standard RJ-45 port (supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds) and converts them for transmission over an ST duplex fiber optic port using 1000Base-LX technology. This allows network segments to extend much farther than copper's 100-meter limit while maintaining Gigabit performance.
What types of fiber optic cables are compatible with this converter?
The converter supports three common fiber optic cable specifications: 62.5/125 µm and 50/125 µm multimode fibers, plus 9/125 µm singlemode fiber. This compatibility covers most installed fiber infrastructure in enterprise and industrial environments. The ST port uses duplex connectors for reliable bidirectional communication.
How far can this converter extend my network connection?
The maximum supported distance is 10 kilometers when using appropriate fiber optic cabling. This substantial reach makes it suitable for connecting separate buildings, extending networks across large facilities, or bridging network segments in campus environments where copper Ethernet would be impractical or unreliable over such distances.
What does 'internal form factor' mean for installation?
Internal form factor means this converter is designed to be installed inside another piece of network equipment, such as a switch chassis or dedicated enclosure, rather than as a standalone external device. This saves space, reduces cable clutter, and often allows the converter to draw power from the host device rather than requiring a separate power adapter.
