Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates at the physical layer, transparently converting electrical signals from the RJ-45 port to optical signals for the SC duplex port, and vice versa. It supports multi-mode fiber with 50/125 µm or 62.5/125 µm core/cladding specifications, achieving a maximum reach of 0.55 kilometers (0.34 miles) over fiber.
The device maintains Gigabit Ethernet performance across both media types, ensuring no degradation in data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbps. Auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDIX on the RJ-45 port simplify copper-side connectivity, while the SC duplex interface provides a secure, latch-based fiber connection.
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.
Key Product Advantages
This converter eliminates the need for expensive fiber-ready switches at every network point by allowing standard copper devices to connect over fiber optic cabling. It extends network segments beyond copper distance limitations while providing electrical isolation and noise immunity inherent to fiber optics.
Media Flexibility
Connect legacy copper equipment to modern fiber backbones or extend networks between buildings using existing multi-mode fiber infrastructure.
- Twisted pair and optical fiber support
- 50/125 µm and 62.5/125 µm fiber compatibility
Deployment Versatility
Multiple mounting options and a compact footprint enable installation in space-constrained locations like wall boxes, 19-inch racks, or DIN rails.
- Wall, rack, rail, or standalone mounting
- Small form factor for discreet placement
Reliability & Compliance
Backed by a lifetime warranty and TAA compliance, this converter meets stringent requirements for government and institutional deployments.
- Lifetime limited warranty
- TAA compliant for federal procurement
Deployment / Use Cases
Deploy this media converter wherever network segments require conversion between copper and fiber media. Common scenarios include connecting fiber backbone switches to copper-based access switches, extending network reach between separate buildings within a campus, or integrating fiber-optic industrial networks with standard office Ethernet equipment.
In data center environments, use it to link copper management ports to fiber patching areas. For security and surveillance, it enables long-distance camera feeds over fiber while maintaining compatibility with NVRs using RJ-45 connections. The wall-mountable design also suits retrofitting older buildings where running new copper cabling is impractical.
Campus Network Extension
Extend Gigabit Ethernet between buildings up to 550 meters apart using existing multi-mode fiber, avoiding signal degradation and ground loop issues common with copper.
Industrial Ethernet Integration
Connect ruggedized industrial devices with RJ-45 ports to fiber-optic plant networks for improved noise immunity and longer runs in manufacturing or utility settings.
Physical Profile
The converter features a slim, metal enclosure measuring 1 inch in height, 3.25 inches in width, and 4.80 inches in depth, with a weight of approximately 2 pounds. Its finish is designed for durability in installed environments. Four mounting options—wall, standalone, rail, and rack—provide flexibility for nearly any installation scenario, from tight wall boxes to standard 19-inch rack shelves using optional brackets.

User Manual
FAQ
What does this media converter actually do?
This converter bridges different network media types by converting electrical signals from a standard RJ-45 copper Ethernet port into optical signals for an SC duplex fiber optic port, and vice versa. It allows devices with copper interfaces to connect over fiber optic cabling, extending network distance and improving signal integrity.
What types of fiber optic cable are compatible?
The converter supports multi-mode fiber optic cables with 50/125 µm or 62.5/125 µm core/cladding specifications. It uses SC duplex connectors, which provide a secure, latch-based connection commonly found in enterprise and data center environments.
What is the maximum distance this converter supports?
Over multi-mode fiber, the maximum supported distance is 0.55 kilometers (0.34 miles). This extends far beyond the 100-meter limit of standard copper Ethernet, making it ideal for connecting network segments between buildings or across large facilities.
How is this converter powered?
The converter is powered by an included external power supply designed for North America (110-120V). The power supply connects to the unit, providing the necessary DC input for operation. There is no PoE capability; it requires dedicated power.
Can this converter be mounted in a rack?
Yes, the converter is rack-mountable using optional rack brackets, in addition to wall, rail, or standalone placement. Its compact size allows it to fit in 1U of rack space when mounted properly, making it suitable for data center or telecom closet installations.
What warranty comes with this product?
Transition Networks provides a lifetime limited warranty for this media converter, covering defects in materials and workmanship for the product's lifetime under normal use. This warranty underscores the product's durability and reliability for critical network deployments.
