Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter features four total ports: two fixed RJ-45 ports for copper connectivity and two SFP slots for fiber optic transceivers. The SFP slots support industry-standard small form-factor pluggable modules, allowing flexible fiber type selection based on distance and bandwidth needs.
The unit supports both twisted pair and optical fiber media types, enabling conversion between 1000BASE-T copper and various fiber standards. No management port is included, making this a plug-and-play solution for basic media conversion tasks.
Key Product Advantages
The T8607 delivers cost-effective network extension by utilizing existing twisted pair cabling for distances up to 100 meters while providing fiber optic connectivity options through SFP modules. This dual-media approach maximizes infrastructure flexibility.
Media Flexibility
Supports both copper and fiber connections, allowing network designers to choose the most appropriate medium for each segment based on distance, interference, and bandwidth requirements.
- Twisted pair for short runs
- Fiber for long-distance or noisy environments
- SFP slots for module customization
Deployment Ready
The shelf-mountable form factor with rail-mount compatibility ensures easy installation in standard network racks or enclosures without requiring specialized mounting hardware.
- Compact design saves rack space
- Rail-mount option for secure installation
- 24V DC power for flexible power sourcing
Deployment / Use Cases
The AXIS T8607 is ideal for extending network segments between buildings, connecting fiber backbone networks to copper-based edge devices, or integrating fiber optic security camera systems with copper network infrastructure.
Common applications include connecting IP surveillance cameras over fiber to copper network switches, bridging network segments in industrial environments where electrical interference is a concern, and extending network reach beyond copper cable limitations in campus environments.
Surveillance Integration
Connect fiber-based security cameras to copper network switches, allowing long-distance camera placement without signal degradation.
Network Extension
Extend network segments beyond the 100-meter copper limit by converting to fiber optic cabling for runs up to several kilometers.
