FAQ
What media types does this converter support?
The C6010-1040 supports both twisted pair and optical fiber media. This allows conversion between copper Ethernet cables and fiber optic cables, enabling flexible network designs that mix different cabling types based on distance, cost, or performance requirements.
What is the maximum distance supported by this media converter?
This converter supports a maximum distance of 1.50 km (0.93 mile) when using optical fiber. This extended reach is ideal for connecting network segments across buildings, campuses, or industrial sites where longer distances exceed typical twisted pair limitations.
What network technologies are compatible with this device?
The device is compatible with Fast Ethernet 10/100Base-X and T1/E1 network technologies. This includes standard 100 Mbps Ethernet over twisted pair or fiber, as well as T1/E1 circuits commonly used in telecommunications and legacy data connections.
Does this converter include an SFP slot?
Yes, it includes one SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) expansion slot. This slot accepts hot-swappable SFP modules, allowing you to customize fiber optic connectivity for single-mode or multimode fiber, different wavelengths, or specific distance requirements without replacing the entire unit.
What is the form factor of this media converter?
The converter has a standalone form factor, meaning it is a self-contained unit that can be placed on any flat surface. It does not require a chassis or rack mount, making it suitable for desktop, shelf, or wall-mounted installations in office or equipment closet environments.
