Deployment / Use Cases
This fiber converter solves connectivity challenges where copper Ethernet reaches its distance limitations or where fiber infrastructure needs to interface with standard network equipment.
In industrial automation settings, it connects PLCs, HMIs, and control systems to fiber backbones that span large factory floors while providing electrical isolation from noisy environments. For campus networks, it extends connections between buildings where direct copper runs would exceed 100-meter limits, utilizing existing multi-mode fiber between structures.
Industrial Network Extension
Connect machinery on factory floors to control rooms over existing multi-mode fiber, maintaining signal integrity across electrically noisy environments where copper would suffer interference.
Building-to-Building Connectivity
Bridge network segments between facilities using underground or aerial fiber runs, extending Gigabit Ethernet up to 1 kilometer without signal degradation or the need for intermediate switches.
Physical Profile
The compact, rugged enclosure features a terminal block for DC power input and supports both DIN rail and wall mounting. With dimensions of 2.44" × 1.06" × 2.28" (62 × 27 × 58 mm) and weight of 5.22 oz (148 g), it fits easily in control panel enclosures, network cabinets, or direct wall installations. The industrial finish and robust construction ensure durability in environments with dust, moisture, or temperature variations.
