Deployment / Use Cases
The C-100MM-S1ST20U transceiver/media converter is ideal for extending Fast Ethernet networks across distances where copper cabling becomes impractical or unreliable. The internal form factor makes it suitable for integration into networking equipment that requires fiber connectivity.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting network segments between separate buildings on a campus, linking industrial control systems across manufacturing facilities, or extending network reach in environments with electromagnetic interference where fiber provides superior noise immunity. The converter can also attach multiple devices together or expand the number of devices connected to existing networks through its two transceiver/media converter ports.
Building-to-Building Connectivity
Connect network segments between separate structures using existing fiber infrastructure, maintaining Fast Ethernet speeds across distances up to 20 kilometers.
Industrial Network Extension
Extend network reach in manufacturing or industrial environments where electromagnetic interference makes copper connections unreliable.
Physical Profile
The internal form factor design allows for convenient installation within compatible networking equipment. With an approximate weight of 5.29 ounces (150 grams), this converter adds minimal load to host systems while providing robust fiber conversion capabilities.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 5.29 oz (150 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
