Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter provides one 10-Mbps ST fiber port and two 10-/100-Mbps UTP switch ports with full autonegotiation support. The RJ-45 ports automatically detect and configure to match connected 10- or 100-Mbps devices, eliminating manual configuration requirements.
The single-mode fiber interface operates at 1300 nm wavelength and supports connections up to 10 km (6.21 miles), extending network reach beyond copper limitations. Both half- and full-duplex operation modes are supported, providing flexibility for different network architectures and traffic patterns.
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.

FAQ
What media types does this converter support?
The LBH110A-H-SST converts between optical fiber and twisted pair copper media. It supports single-mode fiber connections through its ST port and standard Ethernet over twisted pair through its two RJ-45 ports, enabling seamless integration between fiber backbone infrastructure and copper-based network devices.
What is the maximum distance supported by the fiber connection?
The single-mode fiber interface supports connections up to 10 kilometers (approximately 6.21 miles) when using 1300 nm wavelength fiber. This extended reach capability allows network segments to span between buildings, across campuses, or throughout large industrial facilities without signal degradation.
What mounting options are available for this media converter?
The converter supports five different mounting configurations: DIN rail mounting for industrial control panels, wall mounting for facility installations, rack mounting using optional trays (supporting up to 16 units per tray), panel mounting for enclosure integration, and desktop placement for temporary or test setups. This flexibility accommodates virtually any deployment scenario.
What power supply options are compatible with this device?
The media converter accepts both AC and DC power inputs. It is compatible with 100-240 VAC standard power as well as 12-, 24-, and 48-VDC power supplies. This broad compatibility enables deployment in locations with different power infrastructures, including industrial settings with DC power systems and standard office environments with AC power.
How does this converter handle different speed devices on its RJ-45 ports?
Both RJ-45 ports feature autonegotiation capability, automatically detecting and configuring to match the speed of connected devices. They support both 10-Mbps and 100-Mbps Ethernet devices without manual configuration, simplifying deployment when connecting equipment with different speed capabilities to the same network segment.
