Product Features
Technical Overview
Engineered for precise media conversion, the S3220-1014-EU operates on single-mode fiber with a 1310 nm wavelength, supporting link distances up to 10 kilometers (approximately 6.21 miles). This capability is ideal for connecting network segments across buildings, campuses, or industrial sites where fiber’s immunity to electromagnetic interference and lower signal attenuation over long runs provides a clear advantage over copper cabling.
The device features a straightforward port layout: one RJ-45 port for copper Ethernet connectivity, one SC port for fiber optic cable termination, and one USB port for auxiliary functions. It delivers full Gigabit Ethernet performance across both media types, ensuring seamless integration into existing 1 Gbps network infrastructures without compromising throughput or introducing significant latency.
Key Product Advantages
This media converter extends network reach efficiently by leveraging fiber optic technology for long-distance connections while maintaining compatibility with ubiquitous copper Ethernet devices. Its support for 10 km distances on single-mode fiber makes it a cost-effective solution for spanning gaps that exceed copper’s typical 100-meter limit, without requiring intermediate switches or repeaters.
Versatile Deployment Options
Multiple mounting options—wall, DIN rail, shelf, or standalone—provide flexibility for installation in racks, cabinets, or directly on surfaces in diverse environments from IT closets to factory floors.
- Wall mountable for space-saving vertical placement
- DIN rail compatible for industrial control panels
- Shelf or standalone for quick temporary setups
Reliable Long-Distance Performance
Single-mode fiber with 1310 nm wavelength ensures stable, high-bandwidth connections up to 10 km, minimizing signal loss and interference compared to copper over similar distances.
- 10 km reach supports campus and metro-area links
- Fiber immunity to EMI/RFI in electrically noisy areas
- Consistent 1000 Mbit/s throughput across the link
Deployment / Use Cases
The S3220-1014-EU is particularly valuable in scenarios where network segments must traverse long distances or harsh environments. Common applications include connecting buildings within a campus, linking remote industrial equipment to a central control room, or extending network backbone links between data centers where fiber infrastructure already exists or is being deployed.
In office environments, it can bridge fiber backbone connections to copper-based workgroup switches or end devices. For industrial and manufacturing settings, its DIN rail mounting capability allows integration into control cabinets alongside PLCs, HMIs, and other automation gear, providing reliable network extension where copper might suffer from interference or distance limitations.
Campus Network Extension
Connect administrative buildings, warehouses, or outlying facilities across a campus using existing or new fiber runs, maintaining Gigabit speeds over kilometers without signal degradation.
Industrial Automation Networks
Integrate into control panels via DIN rail mounting to link machinery, sensors, and controllers over fiber, ensuring data integrity in electrically noisy plant environments.
Physical Profile
The converter has a compact footprint measuring 1 inch in height, 3.25 inches in width, and 6.50 inches in depth (25.4 x 82.55 x 165.1 mm), with an approximate weight of 2 pounds (907.18 grams). Its low-profile design and multiple mounting options facilitate installation in space-constrained locations like network racks, wall surfaces, or industrial enclosures. The housing is built for durability in controlled indoor environments, supporting stable operation without active cooling.

FAQ
What does this media converter actually convert?
The S3220-1014-EU converts Gigabit Ethernet signals between standard RJ-45 copper connections and SC single-mode fiber optic connections. It allows devices with copper Ethernet ports to communicate over fiber optic cabling, extending network reach beyond copper's distance limitations while maintaining full 1000 Mbit/s performance.
What is the maximum distance supported over fiber?
This converter supports distances up to 10 kilometers (approximately 6.21 miles) when using single-mode fiber optic cable with a 1310 nm wavelength. This extended reach is ideal for connecting network segments across buildings, campuses, or industrial sites where direct copper runs would be impractical or exceed the 100-meter limit of standard Ethernet.
What types of fiber and connectors does it use?
It uses single-mode fiber optic cable with SC-type connectors. Single-mode fiber is designed for long-distance transmission with minimal signal loss, and the SC connector provides a reliable, push-pull connection that is common in datacom and telecom applications for its stability and ease of use.
How is this device powered?
The converter is powered by an included AC adapter, which plugs into a standard wall outlet. The power supply provided is configured for European voltage standards, ensuring proper operation in regions with 230V AC power. There are no internal batteries or PoE capabilities; it requires continuous AC power for operation.
What mounting options are available?
It offers four mounting options: wall mounting using screws for permanent installation, DIN rail mounting for integration into industrial control panels, shelf placement for temporary or rack-adjacent setups, and standalone use on a flat surface. This flexibility allows deployment in diverse environments from data centers to factory floors.
Is this converter compliant with government procurement standards?
Yes, the S3220-1014-EU is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, making it eligible for U.S. federal government purchases.
