Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates on 1000Base-LX and 1000Base-T standards, delivering consistent 1000 Mbps data transfer rates across both copper and fiber interfaces. The SC duplex port uses standard LC/SC fiber connectors, ensuring compatibility with common single-mode or multimode fiber optic cables, while the RJ-45 port supports Cat5e or higher Ethernet cabling.
Management capabilities are provided through a dedicated management port, allowing for monitoring and configuration of link status, performance metrics, and error reporting. The converter's external power method simplifies installation and reduces dependency on host device power supplies.

FAQ
What does this media converter do?
This Perle media converter transforms signals between a standard RJ-45 copper Ethernet port and an SC duplex fiber optic port, allowing Gigabit Ethernet networks to extend over fiber cabling for distances up to 0.55 km while maintaining 1000 Mbps performance.
What types of fiber connectors does it support?
The converter uses an SC duplex port, which is compatible with common SC fiber connectors. This port type is widely used in single-mode and multimode fiber installations, ensuring straightforward integration with existing fiber optic infrastructure.
How far can it extend a network over fiber?
It supports a maximum distance of 0.55 kilometers (550 meters) over fiber optic cable when using 1000Base-LX technology. This allows for reliable network extension beyond the typical limits of copper Ethernet cabling.
Does it require internal installation?
No, this converter has an external form factor, meaning it does not need to be installed inside a server or computer. It can be placed externally and connected via its ports, simplifying deployment and reducing installation complexity.
