Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates as a transparent bridge between copper Ethernet and multimode fiber optic networks. It features one RJ-45 port for connecting to standard Ethernet switches or devices, and one ST duplex port for fiber optic cable termination. The ST port uses industry-standard connectors for secure fiber coupling.
Network compatibility includes both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps Ethernet standards over copper (10/100Base-TX) and 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet over fiber (100Base-FX). The converter supports multimode fiber with 62.5/125 µm core/cladding specifications, enabling signal transmission up to 2 kilometers without signal degradation.
Key Product Advantages
The S-110-M2ST2 extends network reach beyond copper limitations while maintaining signal quality across fiber segments. Its compact design and versatile mounting options provide installation flexibility for diverse environments.
Distance Extension
Extend Ethernet networks up to 2 kilometers using multimode fiber, overcoming the distance limitations of standard copper cabling while maintaining full 100 Mbps throughput.
- 2 km maximum distance
- 62.5/125 µm multimode fiber support
- 100Base-FX fiber standard
Installation Flexibility
Multiple mounting options including wall, rack, and rail mounting allow deployment in various environments from office walls to data center racks.
- Wall mountable design
- Rack-mountable with appropriate hardware
- Rail-mountable for industrial applications
Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is ideal for extending Ethernet networks between buildings, across campuses, or within facilities where copper distance limitations would otherwise require additional networking equipment. It serves as a cost-effective solution for integrating fiber backbone segments with existing copper-based network infrastructure.
Common applications include connecting remote office switches to central network cores, extending surveillance camera networks across large properties, linking industrial control systems across manufacturing floors, and integrating fiber runs in educational or healthcare campuses. The converter's external power design simplifies installation in locations without PoE support.
Building-to-Building Connectivity
Connect network segments between separate buildings using fiber optic cable for immunity to electrical interference and longer distance capability.
Industrial Network Extension
Extend Ethernet networks across manufacturing floors or warehouse spaces where electromagnetic interference makes copper connections unreliable.
Physical Profile
The converter features a compact external enclosure measuring 3.15 inches wide by 4.72 inches deep by 1.02 inches high (80 × 120 × 26 mm), with a lightweight 300-gram construction. The design includes mounting points for wall installation and is compatible with standard rack and rail mounting hardware. The small footprint makes it suitable for space-constrained installations while the external power supply ensures reliable operation without drawing power from connected network equipment.
