Product Features
Technical Overview
This converter module operates with Fast Ethernet technology, delivering data transfer rates up to 100 Mbps over twisted pair cable using 10/100Base-T technology. The fiber optic interface supports single-mode fiber with wavelengths of 1310 nm and 1550 nm, compatible with 9/125 µm core/cladding specifications.
It supports a maximum distance of 20 km (12.43 miles) over fiber, making it suitable for connecting network segments across buildings or campuses. The media conversion between optical fiber and twisted pair ensures signal integrity while extending network reach beyond copper limitations.
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.
