FAQ
What does this media converter do?
It converts 10/100Base-TX Ethernet signals from an RJ-45 copper port to an open SFP slot, allowing connection to fiber optic networks. This enables integration of fiber segments into copper-based infrastructures or adaptation of SFP-equipped devices to standard Ethernet.
What types of fiber does it support?
The converter supports both multi-mode and single-mode fiber optics through compatible SFP modules. Multi-mode is typically used for shorter distances up to a few hundred meters, while single-mode supports longer runs up to several kilometers, depending on the SFP module specifications.
How many ports does it have?
It has two ports total: one RJ-45 port for 10/100Base-TX Ethernet over twisted pair and one open SFP slot for fiber optic transceivers. This configuration allows bidirectional conversion between copper and fiber media.
What is the power source for this converter?
It uses an external power adapter for operation, ensuring stable power delivery without relying on Power over Ethernet (PoE) or other network-based power sources. This makes it compatible with a wide range of network environments.
What are the physical dimensions and weight?
The converter measures 1 inch in height, 3 inches in width, and 4 inches in depth (25.4 x 76.2 x 101.6 mm), with an approximate weight of 3.20 ounces (90.72 grams). Its compact size facilitates easy installation in tight spaces.
