Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter handles Fast Ethernet speeds of 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps, translating between copper twisted-pair and fiber optic media. The RJ-45 port connects to standard Ethernet switches or devices, while the SC duplex port interfaces with fiber cabling, maintaining signal integrity over longer runs.
The converter supports 62.5/125 µm multimode fiber, a common specification for legacy and mid-range fiber installations. Its compact footprint and lightweight build make it suitable for space-constrained environments, with precise dimensions ensuring easy integration into racks, walls, or rail systems.
Key Product Advantages
The S-100-M2SC2 simplifies network expansion by eliminating distance barriers inherent to copper cabling. Its plug-and-play operation requires no configuration, reducing setup time and technical overhead for IT teams.
Extended Reach
Supports fiber runs up to 2 km, far exceeding the 100-meter limit of Cat5e/Cat6 copper, ideal for connecting buildings or remote equipment.
- 2 km maximum distance
- Uses 62.5/125 µm fiber
- Maintains signal quality
Flexible Mounting
Offers wall, rack, and rail mounting options, allowing installation in server rooms, closets, or industrial settings without dedicated shelf space.
- Wall mountable
- Rack-mountable
- Rail-mountable
Deployment / Use Cases
Deploy this media converter to extend Ethernet networks across campuses, between floors, or in environments with electromagnetic interference where fiber's immunity is advantageous. It serves as a cost-effective solution for integrating fiber backbones with existing copper-based edge devices.
Common applications include connecting remote offices, linking surveillance cameras over long distances, and integrating fiber segments in data centers. The standalone design makes it suitable for temporary setups or permanent installations without requiring managed switch ports.
Campus Networking
Connect buildings across a campus using fiber for reliable, high-speed links unaffected by weather or electrical noise.
Industrial Environments
Use in factories or warehouses where fiber's durability and noise resistance outperform copper in harsh conditions.
Physical Profile
The converter measures 3.15 inches wide, 4.72 inches deep, and 1.02 inches high, with a weight of approximately 300 grams. Its slim profile and multiple mounting points facilitate installation in tight spaces, such as network racks or wall enclosures. The external power supply ensures easy replacement if needed, and the robust construction supports continuous operation in typical office or light industrial settings.
