Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates with dual-port architecture, featuring one RJ-45 port for copper Ethernet and one ST duplex port for fiber optic connectivity. It auto-negotiates between 10, 100, and 1000 Mbps speeds on the copper side while delivering consistent 1000 Mbps optical output.
The ST port uses standard duplex LC/ST fiber connectors, compatible with multimode fiber cabling for short to medium-distance applications. Built for continuous operation, it requires external power via an included adapter, with typical power consumption under 5 watts for energy-efficient deployment.
Key Product Advantages
This converter eliminates media mismatch issues by transparently converting between copper and fiber, preserving network integrity and reducing latency. Its plug-and-play design requires no configuration, making it ideal for quick installations in office networks, industrial settings, or campus environments.
Extended Reach
Supports fiber runs up to 0.55 km, far exceeding the 100-meter limit of standard Cat5e/6 copper cabling.
- Overcomes distance limitations
- Reduces signal degradation
Future-Proof Compatibility
Handles 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet alongside 1000Base-SX fiber, ensuring compatibility with existing and emerging network equipment.
- Backward compatible with Fast Ethernet
- Ready for Gigabit upgrades
Deployment / Use Cases
Deploy this media converter anywhere copper-to-fiber conversion is needed to extend network segments, isolate electrical noise, or bridge different building infrastructures. It is particularly effective in environments where electromagnetic interference, ground potential differences, or security requirements make fiber preferable.
Common applications include connecting wiring closets to main distribution frames, linking separate buildings across a campus, or integrating fiber backbones with copper-based workstations. The converter also serves in industrial networks where fiber's immunity to EMI ensures reliable data transmission near machinery or high-voltage equipment.
Campus Network Extension
Connect buildings up to 550 meters apart using existing fiber infrastructure while maintaining Gigabit speeds to end-user devices.
- Eliminates need for repeaters
- Uses cost-effective multimode fiber
Industrial Ethernet Integration

FAQ
What does this media converter actually convert?
This converter transforms electrical Ethernet signals from a standard RJ-45 copper port into optical signals for an ST duplex fiber port. It handles 10/100/1000Base-T on the copper side and outputs 1000Base-SX on the fiber side, enabling seamless communication between copper-based devices and fiber optic network segments.
What is the maximum distance supported by this converter?
The converter supports fiber optic cable runs up to 0.55 kilometers (approximately 0.34 miles) when using multimode fiber with 1000Base-SX technology. This extends network reach far beyond the 100-meter limit of typical Cat5e/6 copper cabling, making it suitable for connecting buildings or long hallway runs.
What types of network speeds does this converter support?
It supports 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps (Gigabit) speeds on the copper RJ-45 port through auto-negotiation, while the fiber port operates at a fixed 1000 Mbps for 1000Base-SX. This ensures compatibility with older Fast Ethernet devices and modern Gigabit equipment without manual speed settings.
What fiber connector type does this converter use?
The converter uses an ST duplex connector for the fiber optic port. ST connectors are common in multimode fiber installations and provide a secure, twist-lock connection. You will need ST-to-ST duplex fiber patch cables to connect this converter to other fiber equipment or infrastructure.
