Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter delivers full Gigabit Ethernet performance with a maximum data transfer rate of 1000 Mbit/s. It supports a transmission distance of up to 0.10 km (0.06 mile) over fiber, extending network segments beyond typical copper limitations. The device includes one fixed RJ-45 port for copper connectivity and one SFP expansion slot for fiber optic modules, allowing customization with various SFP transceivers to match specific fiber types and distances.
Power efficiency is a key design aspect, with consumption rated at just 2.20 W from the included AC adapter. The converter operates on standard network technologies, ensuring compatibility with existing Gigabit Ethernet switches, routers, and endpoints without requiring protocol changes or complex configuration.
Key Product Advantages
The SGFEB1040-130-LA simplifies network expansion by converting between copper and fiber media, eliminating the need for expensive infrastructure overhauls. Its support for both twisted pair and optical fiber allows network administrators to leverage fiber's longer distances and noise immunity while maintaining copper endpoints.
Flexible Media Support
Connect twisted pair cables for short runs or SFP fiber modules for extended distances up to 0.10 km, adapting to various network topologies.
- Dual media types
- SFP slot for fiber modules
- Backward compatible with 10/100 Mbps
Versatile Mounting
Install the converter in multiple orientations: wall-mount for space efficiency, rack-mount for data centers, rail-mount for industrial settings, or standalone for temporary setups.
- Wall, rack, rail, standalone options
- Compact footprint
- Easy cable management
Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is ideal for extending network reach in environments where copper cabling reaches its distance limits or where fiber is required for noise immunity. Common applications include connecting buildings across a campus, linking industrial equipment in noisy settings, or integrating fiber backbones into copper-based office networks.
In data centers, it can bridge fiber uplinks to copper server ports. For security systems, it extends camera feeds over longer distances. The wall-mount capability makes it suitable for closet or edge installations, while the rack-mount option fits neatly into standard network racks alongside switches and patch panels.
Physical Profile
The converter has a compact design measuring 1" (25.40 mm) in height, 3.25" (82.55 mm) in width, and 4.80" (121.92 mm) in depth, with an approximate weight of 2 lb (907.18 g). Its small footprint allows discreet installation in tight spaces, while the robust construction ensures durability in varied operating conditions. The multiple form-factor options provide installation flexibility without sacrificing performance or accessibility.
