Key Product Advantages
This converter excels in environments requiring reliable media conversion with minimal footprint. Its support for both copper and fiber media allows network administrators to extend distances beyond copper limitations or integrate fiber backbones without replacing existing equipment.
Versatile Power Options
Includes a standard power supply for North America and offers a USB power option with an optional USB to DC barrel connector cable (USBC-AM-DC), providing flexibility in power sourcing for mobile or temporary setups.
Robust Connectivity
The SFP slot accepts industry-standard SFP transceivers, enabling customization for single-mode or multimode fiber, different wavelengths, and varying distances based on network requirements.
Durable Construction
Built with a compact yet sturdy design, the converter is suitable for harsh environments, featuring a lifetime limited warranty and TAA compliance for use in government and regulated industries.
Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is ideal for extending network segments where copper cabling reaches its distance limits, typically up to 100 meters. By converting to fiber, it enables connections over much longer distances, up to several kilometers depending on the SFP transceiver used.
Common applications include connecting remote offices or buildings within a campus, integrating fiber backbones into copper-based LANs, and deploying networks in industrial settings where electromagnetic interference affects copper performance. Its wall-mountable and rack-mountable options make it suitable for data centers, telecommunications closets, or manufacturing floors.
Network Extension
Use to bridge copper Ethernet networks over fiber for longer runs, avoiding signal degradation and interference common in extended copper cables.
Fiber Integration
Deploy to introduce fiber segments into existing copper infrastructures, enhancing bandwidth and reliability for critical network paths without a full overhaul.
