Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates at the physical layer, transparently converting electrical signals from the RJ-45 port to optical signals for the SC fiber port. It supports 100Base-TX on the copper side and 100Base-FX on the fiber side, maintaining full duplex operation at 100 Mbps throughput.
The single-mode fiber interface uses a 1310 nm wavelength, optimized for long-distance transmission with minimal signal loss. The converter requires minimal power, drawing just 1.75 watts from the included AC/DC power supply, and generates negligible heat for reliable operation in confined spaces.
This section brings together practical product details such as Total Number of Ports, Network (RJ-45), Number of Network (RJ-45) Ports, Media Type Supported, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
