FAQ
What does this media converter actually convert?
This converter transforms 10/100Base-TX Ethernet signals from a standard RJ-45 copper port into 100Base-FX signals for transmission over an ST multimode fiber optic port. It enables network traffic to travel across fiber cabling, extending reach beyond copper limitations while maintaining Fast Ethernet speeds.
What is the maximum distance supported by this converter?
The ADD-FMCMN-FX-ST supports fiber optic cable runs up to 2 kilometers (approximately 1.24 miles) when using multimode fiber. This distance is significantly greater than the 100-meter maximum for typical Cat5e/Cat6 twisted pair cabling, making it suitable for connecting remote network segments.
What type of fiber optic cable is compatible with this converter?
This converter is designed for use with multimode fiber optic cables featuring ST connectors. It operates at a 1310 nm wavelength, which is standard for many multimode fiber installations in enterprise and industrial networks.
What power source does this media converter require?
The converter uses an AC/DC power source, typically supplied with an external power adapter. This flexibility allows it to be deployed in various environments, from office settings with standard wall outlets to industrial locations with DC power rails.
Does this converter require any configuration or management?
No configuration is needed. The ADD-FMCMN-FX-ST operates as a plug-and-play device with auto-negotiation on the copper side to determine speed and duplex settings. It lacks a management port, simplifying deployment for straightforward conversion tasks without network monitoring requirements.
