Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates at Gigabit Ethernet speeds, supporting auto-negotiation for seamless integration with existing network equipment. The SC duplex port uses multimode fiber, which is ideal for shorter-distance runs up to 2 kilometers. The two RJ45 ports are compatible with standard Cat5e, Cat6, or higher cabling, providing flexibility in network design.
The converter does not include a management port, making it a straightforward, plug-and-play solution for basic media conversion tasks. It relies on an external power supply for operation, ensuring stable performance without drawing power from the network. The device is engineered for continuous operation in typical networking environments, with passive cooling and robust construction.
Key Product Advantages
This media converter simplifies network expansion by allowing the use of fiber optic cabling where copper limitations exist. Its dual-media support enables cost-effective upgrades without replacing entire network infrastructures.
Extended Distance Capability
The multimode fiber support extends network reach up to 2 kilometers, overcoming the distance limitations of standard copper Ethernet cabling.
- Ideal for campus networks
- Reduces signal degradation
Flexible Mounting Options
With rail, rack, and panel mounting capabilities, this converter can be installed in various environments including server racks, control panels, and industrial enclosures.
- Space-efficient design
- Secure installation
Compliance and Reliability
TAA compliance ensures this product meets government procurement requirements, while the 3-year warranty provides long-term reliability assurance.
- Suitable for government contracts
- Manufactured in the USA
Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is particularly valuable in scenarios where network segments need to span longer distances than copper cabling can reliably support. It's commonly deployed in building-to-building connections, industrial automation networks, and security system installations where fiber's immunity to electromagnetic interference is crucial.
In data center environments, it can connect older copper-based equipment to newer fiber backbone networks. For office networks, it enables the extension of Gigabit Ethernet to remote work areas or between floors where fiber risers are already installed. The compact form factor makes it suitable for space-constrained installations like network closets or equipment panels.
Building Interconnect
Connect network segments between separate buildings using existing multimode fiber infrastructure while maintaining Gigabit speeds.
- Eliminates ground loop issues
- Provides electrical isolation
Industrial Networking
Deploy in manufacturing environments where electromagnetic interference from machinery would degrade copper Ethernet signals.
- Robust construction
- Reliable in harsh conditions
Physical Profile
The converter's compact dimensions of 3.50" × 3" × 1" make it suitable for high-density installations. Its lightweight design at 4.80 ounces allows for flexible placement without requiring heavy-duty support structures. The unit features a durable metal enclosure that provides both physical protection and effective heat dissipation during continuous operation.
