Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates with Fast Ethernet technology, handling 10/100Base-TX on the copper side and 1000Base-FX on the fiber side, though it is optimized for 100Mb speeds. It supports optical fiber and twisted pair media types, with a focus on multi-mode fiber using SC connectors. The 1310nm wavelength is standard for short to medium-distance fiber runs, offering efficient signal transmission with minimal loss over the supported 15km range.
The device features a total of two ports: one RJ-45 port for connecting to Ethernet switches, routers, or computers, and one SC port for fiber optic cable. It does not include management ports, USB, or DVI interfaces, keeping the design focused on core conversion functionality. Auto-negotiation for duplex mode simplifies configuration, reducing the need for manual adjustments in most network setups.
