Product Features
Technical Overview
Technically, this converter module operates with multi-mode fiber optic cables, supporting core/cladding specifications of 62.5/125 µm, 50/125 µm, 85/125 µm, and 100/140 µm. It uses wavelengths of 1310 nm and 1550 nm for optical transmission, ensuring compatibility with standard multi-mode fiber infrastructure.
The module handles media types of optical fiber and twisted pair, converting signals seamlessly between these two mediums. It features one RJ-45 port for copper connections and one ST port for fiber connections, providing a total of two ports for network integration.
This section brings together practical product details such as Total Number of Ports, Network (RJ-45), DVI, Media Type Supported, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
