Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates at Fast Ethernet speeds, providing 100 Mbps data transfer rates on both copper and fiber interfaces. The RJ-45 port handles 10/100Base-TX connections using standard Category 5 or better cabling, while the SC duplex port supports 100Base-FX fiber optic transmission.
The converter is compatible with multiple fiber optic core/cladding specifications, including 62.5/125 µm, 50/125 µm, 100/140 µm, and 85/125 µm multimode fibers. This flexibility allows integration with existing fiber infrastructure without requiring specific cable types.
Key Product Advantages
This media converter extends network reach beyond copper limitations while maintaining Fast Ethernet performance. The internal design eliminates external power requirements and reduces desktop clutter, making it ideal for organized network installations.
Distance Extension
Extend network segments up to 1.93 kilometers using fiber optic cabling, far beyond the 100-meter limit of standard copper Ethernet.
- Eliminates copper distance limitations
- Maintains signal integrity over long runs
Fiber Compatibility
Supports four common multimode fiber specifications, providing flexibility for integration with existing fiber infrastructure.
- Works with 62.5/125 µm and 50/125 µm fibers
- Compatible with less common 100/140 µm and 85/125 µm types
Integrated Design
The internal form factor allows clean installation within compatible chassis, reducing external components and power connections.
- No external power adapter required
- Minimizes desktop clutter and cable management
Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is designed for network infrastructure deployments where copper-to-fiber conversion is needed within enclosed systems. Typical applications include extending network connections between buildings, crossing electrically noisy environments, or integrating fiber backbones with copper edge devices.
The internal module format makes it suitable for installation in network chassis, industrial control panels, or telecommunications cabinets where space optimization and reduced external components are priorities. It's particularly valuable in environments where fiber optic cabling is already deployed but needs to interface with copper-based network equipment.
Physical Profile
The converter features a compact internal design weighing approximately 150 grams. This lightweight construction facilitates installation in various enclosure types without adding significant weight. The module is manufactured in Canada and carries an environmentally friendly designation.

FAQ
What does this media converter actually convert?
This converter transforms 10/100Base-TX Ethernet signals from copper twisted-pair cabling to 100Base-FX signals for fiber optic transmission. It enables communication between copper-based network devices and fiber optic network segments while maintaining Fast Ethernet speeds of up to 100 Mbps.
How far can this converter extend my network?
The converter supports fiber optic cable runs up to 1.93 kilometers (approximately 1.20 miles) when using compatible multimode fiber. This extends network connectivity far beyond the 100-meter limitation of standard copper Ethernet cabling, making it suitable for connecting buildings or covering large facilities.
What types of fiber optic cable does this converter support?
This converter is compatible with four common multimode fiber specifications: 62.5/125 µm, 50/125 µm, 100/140 µm, and 85/125 µm. This flexibility allows integration with various existing fiber infrastructures without requiring specific cable types, though it does not support singlemode fiber.
What does 'internal form factor' mean for installation?
Internal form factor means this converter is designed to be installed inside compatible chassis, enclosures, or systems rather than as a standalone external unit. It doesn't require an external power adapter since it draws power from the host chassis, resulting in a cleaner installation with fewer external components.
