Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates at Fast Ethernet speeds (10/100 Mbps) and supports both full and half-duplex operation modes. The fiber interface uses SC duplex connectors and single-mode fiber optic cable with wavelengths of 1310 nm and 1550 nm, optimized for long-distance transmission with minimal signal loss.
Advanced networking features include link-loss forwarding for maintaining connection integrity, remote status monitoring for simplified management, and support for two frame lengths to accommodate different network packet structures. The converter functions as a standalone unit or can be installed into the optional ETCHS2U rackmount chassis for centralized deployment in server rooms or network closets.
Key Product Advantages
This fiber media converter kit delivers practical benefits for network extension projects where copper cabling reaches its distance limitations. The WDM technology enables bidirectional communication over a single fiber strand, cutting fiber count requirements in half compared to traditional two-strand solutions while maintaining full-duplex performance.

Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is ideal for extending Ethernet networks between buildings, across campuses, or in industrial environments where electrical interference or distance exceeds copper cabling capabilities. It effectively bridges the gap between copper-based network segments and fiber optic backbone infrastructure.
Common applications include connecting remote offices or facilities over existing single-mode fiber, linking network equipment in separate buildings on corporate campuses, and extending surveillance camera networks across large properties. The solution is particularly valuable when upgrading network infrastructure where running new copper cabling is impractical or cost-prohibitive.
Physical Profile
The converter units feature a compact design measuring 1" (25.40 mm) in height, 3.50" (88.90 mm) in width, and 6.30" (160.02 mm) in depth, with an approximate weight of 2.70 lb (1224.70 g) per unit. This slim profile allows for flexible placement in space-constrained environments while supporting both desktop and rack-mounted installations. The included universal power adapters accommodate North American, European, UK, and Australian electrical outlets for international deployment.

FAQ
What does this media converter kit convert?
This kit converts 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet signals from standard twisted-pair copper cabling (RJ-45) to single-mode fiber optic signals (SC connectors). It enables Ethernet networks to extend beyond the 100-meter limitation of copper cabling by transmitting data over fiber optic cable for distances up to 20 kilometers.
What is Wave Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology?
Wave Division Multiplexing allows bidirectional communication over a single fiber strand by using different wavelengths for transmitting and receiving data. This converter uses 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths to enable full-duplex communication over one fiber, reducing the required fiber count by half compared to traditional two-strand solutions while maintaining the same performance.
What distance can this media converter support?
This converter supports fiber optic cable runs up to 20 kilometers (approximately 12.43 miles) when using single-mode fiber. This substantial distance capability makes it suitable for connecting buildings across campuses, linking remote facilities, or extending networks in industrial environments where copper cabling would be impractical or exceed its distance limitations.
What installation options are available for this converter?
The converter units support both desktop and rack-mountable installations. They can operate as standalone devices on a desktop or shelf, or be mounted in a standard equipment rack. For organized deployment in server rooms or network closets, the units are compatible with the optional ETCHS2U rackmount chassis, which can house multiple converters in a centralized location.
What power requirements does this converter have?
The converter operates on 19.20 watts of power supplied through the included universal AC adapters. The power adapters support Type M connectors and are configured for North American, European, UK, and Australian electrical outlets, making the kit suitable for international deployment without requiring additional power adapters for different regions.
What advanced features does this media converter include?
Beyond basic conversion, this converter includes link-loss forwarding to maintain connection integrity if one side loses power or connection, remote status monitoring for simplified management, and support for two frame lengths to accommodate different network packet structures. It also supports both full and half-duplex operation modes for compatibility with various network configurations and equipment.
