Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates at a maximum data transfer rate of 1000 Mbit/s, matching Gigabit Ethernet standards. It handles conversion between twisted pair copper and optical fiber media, supporting the 10/100/1000Base-T and 1000Base-SX network technologies for seamless integration into existing infrastructure.
The fiber interface uses an SC connector type with 850 nm wavelength multi-mode optics, compatible with standard 62.5/125 µm and 50/125 µm fiber cables. Power is supplied via an included AC adapter, with low 2.20 W consumption for energy-efficient operation.
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 between buildings, across campuses, or within data centers where fiber backbone connectivity is required. It connects copper-based edge devices like switches, routers, or servers to fiber optic backbone networks.
Common applications include linking Ethernet switches in different buildings, connecting network equipment in industrial environments where EMI resistance is needed, and integrating legacy copper devices into modern fiber infrastructure. The wall-mountable design suits telecom closet installations, while rack-mounting supports data center deployments.
Building-to-Building Links
Connect networks between separate structures using existing fiber runs, avoiding costly copper cable replacement.
Data Center Edge Connectivity
Integrate copper-based servers or storage devices into fiber-based data center networks for extended reach.
Physical Profile
The converter has a compact, low-profile design measuring 1" (25.40 mm) in height, 3.25" (82.55 mm) in width, and 4.80" (121.92 mm) in depth. It weighs approximately 2 lb (907.18 g), making it easy to mount in tight spaces. The unit includes keyhole slots for wall mounting, rack ears for standard 19" rack installation, and rail-mounting capability for industrial environments. Its standalone form also allows desktop placement when needed.
