Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates at 100 Mbps full-duplex, converting electrical signals from standard RJ45 Ethernet ports to optical signals for SC duplex fiber connections. It supports both 100Base-FX (multimode) and 100Base-BX (bidirectional single-mode) standards, providing compatibility with diverse fiber network architectures.
The unit achieves a maximum transmission distance of 20 kilometers (12.43 miles), extending network reach beyond the 100-meter limitation of Cat5/Cat6 copper cabling. It accepts fiber cables with core/cladding diameters of 9/125 µm, 50/125 µm, 62.5/125 µm, 85/125 µm, and 100/140 µm, covering most common multimode and single-mode installations.

Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is ideal for extending Ethernet networks over fiber in scenarios where copper distance limits, electromagnetic interference, or environmental factors pose challenges. It serves as a cost-effective solution for connecting remote network segments without requiring complete fiber overhaul.
Common applications include linking separate buildings on a campus, connecting industrial PLCs and sensors in manufacturing facilities, extending network drops in warehouses, and providing fiber uplinks for security cameras or access points in outdoor installations. The rail-mount capability makes it particularly useful in control panels and telecommunications enclosures where space is optimized for DIN rail components.
Industrial Networking
Deploy in manufacturing plants to connect machinery and sensors over fiber, avoiding electrical noise from motors and variable frequency drives.
Building-to-Building Links
Connect network segments between separate structures using existing fiber runs, maintaining high bandwidth over 20 km distances.
Physical Profile
The converter measures 1.02 inches in height, 3.15 inches in width, and 4.72 inches in depth (26 × 80 × 120 mm), with a weight of approximately 299.4 grams. Its compact footprint allows installation in tight spaces, while the metal housing provides durability and heat dissipation for continuous operation. The front panel includes status LEDs for power, link, and activity monitoring, and the universal AC/DC adapter supports 100-240V input for global deployment.

FAQ
What types of fiber cables does this media converter support?
The S-100MM-S1SC20U supports fiber optic cables with core/cladding specifications of 9/125 µm (single-mode), 50/125 µm, 62.5/125 µm, 85/125 µm, and 100/140 µm (multimode). This covers most common multimode and single-mode fiber types used in enterprise and industrial networks, providing flexibility for existing fiber plant integration.
What is the maximum distance this converter can achieve?
This media converter supports a maximum transmission distance of 20 kilometers (approximately 12.43 miles) over fiber optic cable. The actual achievable distance depends on fiber type, connector quality, and signal loss, but the converter is designed to reach the full 20 km with proper single-mode fiber and clean connections.
Can I mount this converter in a standard 19-inch rack?
Yes, the converter is rack-mountable using included mounting ears that attach to the sides of the unit. It occupies 1U of vertical space when installed in a 19-inch rack enclosure, making it suitable for data center, telecom closet, or network cabinet deployments alongside other rack-mounted equipment.
What power input does the included adapter support?
The universal AC/DC power adapter supports input voltages from 100 to 240V AC at 50/60 Hz, with interchangeable plugs for different regional outlets. This allows deployment in North America, Europe, Asia, and other regions without requiring separate power supplies.
