Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates at Gigabit Ethernet speeds, supporting both 10/100/1000Base-TX on the copper side and 1000Base-LX on the fiber side. The dual-media capability handles conversion between optical fiber and twisted pair networks without compromising data integrity or network performance.
The device features one LC fiber port for single-mode connections and one RJ-45 port with PoE+ capability, providing up to 30 watts of power to connected devices. This combination makes it suitable for connecting PoE-powered devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones over extended fiber distances.
Key Product Advantages
This converter addresses common network extension challenges by providing a reliable bridge between fiber and copper media. The PoE+ capability eliminates the need for separate power sources at remote endpoints, reducing installation complexity and costs.
Extended Network Reach
Overcomes the 100-meter limitation of standard copper Ethernet by supporting fiber connections up to 10 kilometers, ideal for campus networks, industrial environments, and long-distance links.
- 10 km maximum distance
- Single-mode fiber compatibility

Simplified Power Management
The integrated PoE+ port delivers both data and power over a single cable, enabling deployment of powered devices in locations without convenient power outlets.
- 30W PoE+ power budget
- Single-cable solution
- Reduced installation costs
Media Flexibility
Converts between fiber optic and twisted pair networks while maintaining full Gigabit performance, allowing organizations to leverage existing copper infrastructure while extending with fiber.
- Dual-media support
- Gigabit throughput
- Backward compatible with Fast Ethernet
Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is designed for network environments requiring extended reach beyond standard copper limitations. Its combination of fiber distance capabilities and PoE+ support makes it versatile for various deployment scenarios.
Common applications include connecting remote buildings in campus networks, extending surveillance systems with IP cameras over long distances, linking wireless access points across large facilities, and integrating fiber backbones with existing copper-based network equipment. The device is particularly valuable in industrial settings, educational campuses, healthcare facilities, and any environment where network segments need to span considerable distances while maintaining high-speed connectivity.
Campus Network Extension
Connect multiple buildings across a campus while maintaining Gigabit speeds, overcoming the distance limitations of direct copper connections between structures.
Remote Device Connectivity
Power and connect PoE devices like security cameras or access points at distant locations using fiber for the long-haul connection and PoE+ for endpoint power.

FAQ
What types of networks can this media converter connect?
This converter bridges single-mode fiber optic networks with standard twisted-pair Ethernet networks. It converts between 1000Base-LX on the fiber side and 10/100/1000Base-TX on the copper side, allowing seamless integration of fiber segments into existing copper infrastructure.
How far can this converter transmit data over fiber?
The converter supports fiber connections up to 10 kilometers (approximately 6.21 miles) when using single-mode fiber with 1310 nm wavelength. This extended reach makes it suitable for connecting network segments across buildings, campuses, or industrial facilities where copper Ethernet distance limitations would be problematic.
What is the PoE+ capability of this media converter?
The RJ-45 port supports Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), which can deliver up to 30 watts of power to connected devices. This allows you to power devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones through the same cable that carries data, eliminating the need for separate power sources at remote locations.
What type of fiber connector does this converter use?
This converter features one LC port for fiber connections. LC connectors are standard for single-mode fiber applications and provide reliable, low-loss connections. You'll need an LC connector on your fiber patch cable to connect to this device.
