Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates with 1000Base-LX technology on the fiber side, delivering Gigabit speeds over single-mode or multimode fiber with SC connectors. The copper interface supports auto-negotiation for 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of network equipment. The management port allows for remote configuration and status monitoring, adding operational flexibility in managed network deployments.
The device maintains signal integrity across the 2 km distance specification, supporting full-duplex operation on both copper and fiber interfaces. Its design emphasizes reliability in continuous operation environments, with robust components tested for network stability.
Key Product Advantages
The SMI-1000-M2SC2 addresses critical network expansion needs by converting copper Ethernet to fiber optic connections, overcoming distance limitations of traditional cabling. Its managed capability provides network administrators with visibility and control, while the dual SC ports offer flexibility in fiber connectivity.
Extended Network Reach
Enables network segments to span up to 2 km using fiber optic cabling, far beyond the 100-meter limit of standard copper Ethernet.
- Eliminates copper distance constraints
- Supports long-distance backbone links
Versatile Mounting Options
Designed for installation flexibility with rail, wall, and rack mounting capabilities, adapting to various infrastructure layouts.
- Saves space in crowded racks
- Simplifies deployment in diverse environments
Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is ideal for extending network connections between buildings, across campuses, or within large facilities where fiber optic cabling is already installed or required for distance. It serves as a cost-effective solution for integrating fiber segments into existing copper-based networks without replacing core infrastructure.
Common applications include connecting network switches in separate buildings, linking security cameras over long distances, and integrating industrial equipment in manufacturing plants. The management port makes it suitable for monitored network environments where administrators need to verify link status and performance.
