Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates as a transparent bridge between copper and fiber media, converting electrical signals from the RJ-45 port to optical signals for the ST fiber port. The 1000Base-EX technology enables full Gigabit throughput over single-mode fiber, while the 10/100/1000Base-T support ensures backward compatibility with existing Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet copper networks.
The internal form factor allows for clean integration into network racks or enclosures, with a compact design weighing approximately 150 grams. The ST port uses duplex connectors for reliable bidirectional communication, and the device is manufactured in Canada with environmentally friendly materials.

FAQ
What does this media converter actually convert?
This converter transforms electrical signals from a standard RJ-45 Ethernet port into optical signals for an ST fiber optic port. It bridges copper network segments to fiber optic infrastructure while maintaining data integrity and supporting Gigabit speeds up to 1000 Mbps.
What is the maximum distance this converter supports?
The CM-1110-S2ST40 supports fiber optic connections up to 40 kilometers when using compatible 9/125 µm single-mode fiber cable. This far exceeds the 100-meter limitation of standard Cat5/Cat6 copper Ethernet, making it ideal for connecting distant network segments.
What type of fiber optic cable is compatible with this converter?
This converter requires 9/125 µm single-mode fiber optic cable with ST connectors. The 9/125 µm specification refers to the core/cladding diameter, which is standard for long-distance single-mode fiber applications. The ST port uses duplex connectors for reliable bidirectional communication.
What Ethernet speeds does this converter support?
The converter supports 1000Base-EX for Gigabit speeds over fiber, plus 10/100/1000Base-T for copper connections. This means it can handle 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps Ethernet speeds with auto-negotiation on the copper side, while maintaining full Gigabit performance on the fiber side.
