FAQ
What does this media converter actually convert?
This converter transforms 1000Base-SX signals to 1000Base-LX, enabling communication between multi-mode fiber (typically using 1000Base-SX) and single-mode fiber (typically using 1000Base-LX) network segments. It handles the electrical and optical translation between these two Gigabit Ethernet fiber standards.
What types of fiber does this converter support?
The converter supports both single-mode and multi-mode optical fiber cables. This dual-mode capability allows it to connect different fiber types within the same network, providing flexibility when integrating legacy multi-mode installations with modern single-mode backbone infrastructure.
What is the maximum distance this converter can achieve?
The converter supports distances up to 60 kilometers (37.28 miles) when using single-mode fiber. This extended reach makes it suitable for long-haul network connections between buildings, campuses, or remote sites while maintaining Gigabit Ethernet performance.
What connectors does this media converter use?
This converter features two ST-type fiber optic connectors. ST connectors are bayonet-style connectors commonly used in fiber optic networks, providing secure connections with good repeatability. The converter does not include RJ-45 Ethernet ports, as it is designed specifically for fiber-to-fiber conversion.
