Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates with 1000Base-LX technology on the fiber side, enabling 1000 Mbps data transfer over single-mode or multimode fiber with an ST connector interface. On the copper side, it auto-negotiates between 10, 100, and 1000 Mbps Ethernet speeds across two RJ-45 ports, providing flexibility for connecting multiple devices or daisy-chaining. The integrated management port allows for configuration and status monitoring, supporting advanced network management protocols for enterprise deployment.
The converter maintains signal integrity across the 2 km fiber distance, making it suitable for campus networks, building-to-building links, or any scenario where copper cabling reaches its distance or interference limits. It performs transparent conversion without protocol changes, ensuring compatibility with existing Ethernet equipment and minimizing configuration overhead.
Key Product Advantages
The SMI-1110-M2ST2 combines essential media conversion functions with manageability and deployment flexibility. Its dual RJ-45 ports allow direct connection of two copper devices or uplink to a switch, while the dedicated ST fiber port provides a reliable optical link. The management capabilities give IT teams visibility into link status, performance metrics, and error conditions, which is critical for maintaining uptime in converged networks.
Managed Operation
The management port enables configuration, monitoring, and diagnostics, allowing administrators to optimize network performance and quickly identify issues in the fiber-copper boundary.
- Remote status monitoring
- Configuration flexibility
- Diagnostic capabilities
Versatile Mounting
Designed for rail, rack, or wall mounting, this converter adapts to various installation environments without requiring additional brackets or adapters.
- Rail-mountable for DIN rail
- Rack-mountable for standard racks
- Wall-mountable with included hardware
Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is ideal for extending Gigabit Ethernet networks over fiber where copper cabling is impractical due to distance, EMI susceptibility, or security requirements. Common applications include connecting buildings across a campus, linking industrial equipment in noisy environments, or integrating fiber backbone segments into copper-based office networks.
In data center environments, it can bridge fiber uplinks to copper switches or servers. For industrial automation, it provides reliable connectivity in settings with high electromagnetic interference. The 2 km reach supports medium-distance links without signal degradation, making it a cost-effective alternative to fiber switches for point-to-point connections.
Campus Network Extension
Connect buildings up to 2 km apart using fiber for backbone links while maintaining copper access for end devices, ensuring high bandwidth and immunity to lightning or ground potential differences.
Industrial Networking
Deploy in manufacturing or utility settings where fiber's immunity to EMI and electrical noise ensures stable network performance for critical control and monitoring systems.
Physical Profile
The converter features a compact metal enclosure measuring 6.89 inches wide by 5.71 inches deep by 0.91 inches high (175 x 145 x 23 mm), with a weight of approximately 566 grams. This slim profile allows dense installations in racks or on walls without consuming excessive space. The rugged construction ensures durability in operational environments, while multiple mounting options provide installation flexibility for data centers, wiring closets, or field locations.

FAQ
What types of connections does this media converter support?
This converter supports two RJ-45 copper ports for 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet and one ST duplex fiber port for 1000Base-LX fiber optic connections. The copper side auto-negotiates speed and duplex, while the fiber side operates at a fixed 1000 Mbps for stable long-distance links.
What is the maximum distance supported over fiber?
The media converter supports fiber optic links up to 2 kilometers when using 1000Base-LX technology. This distance is suitable for campus networks, building interconnects, or industrial applications where copper cabling would exceed its effective range or suffer from interference.
How is this media converter managed?
It includes a dedicated management port that allows network administrators to configure settings, monitor link status, and perform diagnostics. This managed capability provides visibility into performance and fault conditions, which is essential for maintaining reliability in mixed-media network segments.
What mounting options are available for installation?
The converter is designed for rail, rack, or wall mounting. It can be installed on standard DIN rails, mounted in 19-inch racks using included brackets, or attached directly to walls, offering flexibility for data center, closet, or industrial deployments without requiring additional hardware.
