Product Features
Technical Overview
The C3220-1040 features a single RJ-45 port for twisted pair connections and a USB port for management or auxiliary functions. It includes one SFP expansion slot, supporting a wide range of SFP transceivers for fiber optic connectivity. This allows the converter to handle both multimode and singlemode fiber, adapting to different network topologies.
The converter operates on DC power with a low consumption of 4.50 W, making it energy-efficient for continuous use. It supports 10/100/1000Base-T over copper and 100/1000Base-X over fiber, ensuring compatibility with standard Gigabit Ethernet equipment. The maximum supported distance is 0.10 km (0.06 miles) over twisted pair, with fiber distances dependent on the installed SFP module.
Key Product Advantages
This media converter excels in environments where mixed media networks are present, providing a cost-effective solution to extend network reach without replacing existing cabling. Its small form factor and low power draw make it ideal for space-constrained installations such as wiring closets, industrial control panels, or remote network nodes.
Media Flexibility
Converts between optical fiber and twisted pair, allowing integration of fiber segments into copper-based networks. Supports both media types simultaneously through the RJ-45 port and SFP slot.
- Optical Fiber and Twisted Pair support
- SFP slot for fiber transceivers
Compact Design
With dimensions of 3.40" H x 0.86" W x 6.50" D, the converter fits easily in tight spaces. The lightweight build at 1 lb simplifies mounting and installation in various environments.
- Small footprint
- Lightweight construction
Deployment / Use Cases
The C3220-1040 is commonly deployed in scenarios where network segments need to transition between fiber optic and copper cabling. This includes extending network reach beyond the limitations of twisted pair, connecting fiber backbone links to copper-based access switches, or integrating fiber for noise immunity in industrial settings.
Typical use cases include connecting remote offices over fiber while maintaining copper connections at the endpoint, linking surveillance cameras with fiber runs for longer distances, or integrating fiber into existing network upgrades without full rewiring. The converter's TAA compliance makes it suitable for government and educational procurement where trade agreement adherence is required.

FAQ
What media types does this converter support?
The C3220-1040 supports both optical fiber and twisted pair copper cabling. It converts signals between these media types, allowing integration of fiber segments into copper-based networks. The SFP slot accommodates various fiber transceivers for multimode or singlemode fiber, while the RJ-45 port handles standard Ethernet over twisted pair.
What is the maximum data transfer rate?
This converter supports Gigabit Ethernet with a maximum data transfer rate of 1000 Mbit/s. It is compatible with 10/100/1000Base-T over twisted pair and 100/1000Base-X over fiber, ensuring full Gigabit performance for high-bandwidth applications such as video streaming, data backups, or network expansions.
How far can it transmit over twisted pair?
The maximum supported distance over twisted pair cable is 0.10 km, which is approximately 0.06 miles. For fiber optic connections, the distance depends on the SFP transceiver installed in the expansion slot, allowing for much longer reaches typical of fiber optics, often up to several kilometers with appropriate modules.
What power source does it require?
The converter operates on DC power and consumes 4.50 W under normal operation. This low power draw makes it suitable for energy-conscious deployments and allows for use with standard DC power supplies commonly found in networking environments. Ensure the power source matches the required DC input specifications.
