Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates with 10/100Base-TX network technology on the copper side and 100Base-FX on the fiber side, delivering up to 100 Mbps data transfer rates. The SC duplex port ensures proper alignment for bidirectional fiber communication, while the 1300 nm wavelength is compatible with common multimode fiber installations.
Power is supplied via an included AC/DC power adapter rated for North America, supporting flexible placement without dedicated power infrastructure. The converter's compact dimensions—0.85" height, 1.80" width, and 3.30" depth—allow for discreet mounting on walls, in cabinets, or alongside network equipment.
This section brings together practical product details such as Total Number of Ports, Network (RJ-45), Number of Network (RJ-45) Ports, Fiber Optic Cable Wavelength, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is ideal for extending network connections to remote locations where fiber optic cabling is already installed or preferred for its noise immunity and distance capabilities. Common applications include connecting edge switches in industrial environments, linking separate buildings on a campus, or integrating fiber backbones into existing copper-based networks.
The wall-mountable design suits installations in wiring closets, manufacturing floors, or outdoor enclosures where rack space is limited. Its low power draw and included North America power supply simplify deployment in areas without PoE support, making it a versatile tool for network expansion projects.
Building-to-Building Links
Connect networks across separate structures using existing fiber infrastructure, avoiding Ethernet distance limitations and electrical interference.
Industrial Network Extensions
Deploy in manufacturing or warehouse settings to extend connectivity to machinery or sensors located beyond standard copper cabling ranges.

User Manual
FAQ
What does this media converter do?
This converter transforms 10/100Base-TX Ethernet signals from a standard RJ-45 copper port into 100Base-FX signals for transmission over a single SC duplex fiber optic cable. It enables network extension beyond the 100-meter limit of copper cabling, supporting distances up to 2 km (1.24 miles) using 1300 nm wavelength fiber.
What is the maximum distance supported?
The converter supports a maximum distance of 2 kilometers (approximately 1.24 miles) over fiber optic cable when using 1300 nm wavelength. This extended reach is ideal for connecting network segments across buildings, industrial sites, or other remote locations where copper Ethernet would be insufficient.
What type of fiber connector does it use?
It uses a single SC duplex port for fiber optic connections. The SC connector is a common push-pull type that provides reliable alignment for bidirectional data transmission, compatible with standard SC duplex fiber patch cables used in many network installations.
Is this device wall-mountable?
Yes, the converter features a wall-mountable external form factor with mounting points on its casing. This allows for secure installation on vertical surfaces in wiring closets, cabinets, or industrial enclosures, saving rack space and enabling flexible placement in tight areas.
What power supply is included?
The package includes an AC/DC power supply rated for North America, providing the necessary 2.60 W of power for operation. This external power adapter allows for deployment in locations without Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, ensuring reliable operation in various environments.
What warranty does this product have?
