Product Features
Technical Overview
The LMC5023C-R3 features a total of two ports: one RJ-45 port for twisted pair connections and one SC duplex port for multi-mode fiber optic cables. It operates at a 1300 nm wavelength, which is standard for multi-mode fiber applications, and supports transmission distances up to 2 km (1.24 miles).
This media converter is built to Fast Ethernet standards, ensuring compatibility with 100Base-TX networks over copper and 100Base-FX over fiber. It automatically detects and negotiates connections, requiring no manual configuration for typical deployments. The device is environmentally friendly and manufactured to meet rigorous quality standards.
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.
