Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter features one fixed RJ-45 port for twisted pair connections and one SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) slot for fiber optic transceivers. The SFP slot allows customization with various fiber optic modules to match specific distance, wavelength, and connector requirements, providing adaptability for different fiber infrastructure deployments.
The device operates on AC/DC power with low energy consumption of 2.60 W, contributing to efficient network operations. It supports full-duplex Gigabit Ethernet across both media types, ensuring consistent 1000 Mbps throughput without bottlenecks in data-intensive applications.
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.

Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is ideal for extending network segments beyond the 100-meter limitation of standard copper Ethernet by converting to fiber optic cabling. It serves as a practical solution when existing infrastructure mixes media types or when future-proofing networks with fiber backbone capabilities.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting copper-based edge devices to fiber backbone networks, extending network reach in industrial environments where electrical interference concerns exist, and adapting legacy copper equipment to modern fiber infrastructure during phased upgrades.
Network Extension
Extend Gigabit Ethernet connections beyond copper distance limits by converting to fiber optic media, supporting runs up to 0.10 km while maintaining full 1000 Mbps throughput.
Media Adaptation
Bridge between different building wiring types—such as connecting copper-wired offices to fiber-connected data centers—without replacing entire cable plants or changing endpoint equipment.
Physical Profile
With compact dimensions of 1.80" wide × 3.30" deep × 0.85" high and a weight of approximately 2 lb, this converter occupies minimal space while offering four mounting configurations. The small form factor allows installation in tight spaces such as control panel enclosures, wall-mounted network boxes, or standard 19-inch rack shelves using appropriate mounting hardware.
