Product Features
Technical Overview
Engineered for stable conversion between 1000Base-LX fiber and 10/100/1000Base-T copper Ethernet, the S3220-1014 operates at 1310 nm wavelength on single-mode fiber, which provides low signal attenuation and high bandwidth over extended distances. The device auto-negotiates speed and duplex settings on the copper side while maintaining consistent fiber signaling.
Its dual-port design includes one RJ-45 port for copper connectivity and one SC port for fiber uplink, plus a USB port for potential management or auxiliary functions. The converter supports twisted pair and optical fiber media, handling the electrical-to-optical conversion transparently without requiring configuration changes on connected network equipment.
This section brings together practical product details such as Total Number of Ports, Network (RJ-45), USB, Media Type Supported, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

FAQ
What types of network connections does this media converter support?
The S3220-1014 converts between standard RJ-45 copper Ethernet (using twisted pair cabling) and SC single-mode fiber optic connections. It supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbit/s) with compatibility for 1000Base-LX over fiber and 10/100/1000Base-T over copper, allowing seamless integration of fiber segments into existing copper networks.
What is the maximum distance supported over fiber?
This converter supports links up to 10 kilometers (approximately 6.21 miles) over single-mode fiber when operating at 1310 nm wavelength. This extended reach is ideal for connecting remote buildings, campus environments, or industrial sites where copper Ethernet distance limits (typically 100 meters) are insufficient.
What mounting options are available for installation?
The device offers flexible mounting including wall mounting, DIN rail mounting, shelf placement, or standalone use. Its compact metal housing and included hardware accommodate various deployment scenarios without requiring dedicated rack space, making it suitable for telecom closets, control panels, or industrial enclosures.
Does this converter require external power?
Yes, the S3220-1014 is powered by an included AC adapter (North American version). The converter does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE) or passive powering, so it must be connected to a standard AC outlet for operation, ensuring stable performance for the electrical-to-optical conversion process.
What compliance standards does this product meet?
This media converter is TAA compliant for government procurement, and meets environmental standards including REACH, RoHS, and WEEE. It is also environmentally friendly, with a lifetime limited warranty that underscores its reliability for long-term network infrastructure deployments.
What is included in the package?
The package contains the S3220-1014 transceiver/media converter unit and a power supply designed for North American outlets. No additional cables or mounting hardware are required beyond what is included, providing a complete solution for immediate deployment in conversion applications.
