Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter leverages advanced fiber optic technology to bridge copper and fiber networks efficiently. It supports full-duplex communication over its Duplex LC port, ensuring bidirectional data flow without performance degradation. The device is compatible with standard multimode fiber optic cables, accommodating both 62.5/125 µm and 50/125 µm types, which are commonly used in enterprise and campus networks.
Network performance is optimized through auto-negotiation on the RJ-45 port, allowing seamless integration with existing Ethernet switches, routers, and endpoints. The converter maintains signal integrity over its maximum supported distance of 0.55 km, reducing the need for additional repeaters or amplifiers in medium-range deployments.
