Product Features
Technical Overview
Engineered for high-performance network conversion, this media converter operates at Gigabit Ethernet speeds (1000 Mbps) and supports auto-negotiation for 10/100/1000Base-T copper connections. The fiber interface uses SC connectors and single-mode fiber with a 1310 nm wavelength, optimized for long-distance transmission up to 10 kilometers while minimizing signal loss.
The unit features two ports: one RJ-45 port with PoE+ PSE functionality to power remote devices, and one SC port for fiber connectivity. It accepts AC power input and is backed by a 1-year limited warranty, ensuring dependable operation in continuous-use scenarios.
Key Product Advantages
This converter simplifies network deployments by extending copper-based Ethernet over fiber optic cabling, overcoming distance limitations and electromagnetic interference common in industrial settings. The integrated PoE+ support reduces cabling complexity and power infrastructure costs for connected devices.
Long-Distance Connectivity
Enables reliable network extension up to 10 km using single-mode fiber, ideal for connecting remote buildings or outdoor installations.
- Eliminates copper distance constraints
- Reduces signal degradation over long runs
PoE+ Integration
Delivers data and up to 30W of power through the RJ-45 port, supporting devices like IP cameras or wireless access points without separate power supplies.
- Simplifies installation
- Reduces cable clutter
Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is tailored for scenarios where network signals must traverse long distances or harsh environments. It is commonly deployed in campus networks, industrial automation systems, and surveillance setups where fiber optic cabling is necessary for reliability and reach.
Typical applications include connecting Ethernet switches in separate buildings, extending networks to remote security cameras with PoE requirements, or integrating fiber backbones into existing copper-based infrastructure. Its compatibility with standard single-mode fiber and SC connectors ensures seamless integration with most fiber optic installations.
Campus Network Extension
Connect network segments between buildings up to 10 km apart, maintaining Gigabit speeds and avoiding ground loop issues.
Industrial IoT Deployments

FAQ
What does this media converter do?
This converter bridges copper Ethernet and fiber optic networks by converting Gigabit Ethernet signals from an RJ-45 port to 1000BASE-LX single-mode fiber. It allows you to extend network connections up to 10 km using fiber cabling, overcoming the distance limitations of traditional copper cables while maintaining high-speed data transfer.
Does it support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, it includes one PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus) RJ-45 port that acts as a PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment). This port can deliver both data and up to 30W of power to compatible devices like IP cameras or wireless access points, simplifying installations by eliminating the need for separate power sources at remote locations.
What type of fiber and connectors does it use?
It uses single-mode fiber (SMF) with SC connectors and operates at a 1310 nm wavelength. Single-mode fiber is optimized for long-distance transmission, and SC connectors are common in fiber optic networks, ensuring compatibility with standard fiber cabling and easy integration into existing infrastructure.
What is the maximum distance it can support?
The converter supports a maximum distance of 10 kilometers (approximately 6.21 miles) over single-mode fiber. This makes it suitable for connecting network segments across large campuses, between buildings, or in industrial sites where copper Ethernet would be impractical due to distance or environmental interference.
