FAQ
What does this media converter actually do?
This converter bridges two different network media types. It takes a Gigabit Ethernet signal from a standard RJ-45 copper port (using twisted-pair cable) and converts it for transmission over a single-mode fiber optic cable via an SC port. It also works in reverse, allowing fiber signals to connect to copper-based network equipment, effectively extending the network's reach beyond the limitations of copper cabling.
What is the maximum distance supported over fiber?
The converter supports a maximum distance of 10 kilometers (approximately 6.21 miles) when using single-mode fiber optic cable with a 1310 nm wavelength. This significant reach is ideal for connecting network segments between buildings or across large campuses without signal degradation.
What types of network speeds and standards does it support?
It supports full Gigabit Ethernet performance with a data transfer rate of 1000 Mbit/s. The device is compatible with 1000Base-LX over fiber optic cable and 10/100/1000Base-T over copper twisted-pair, ensuring seamless integration into existing Gigabit network infrastructures and auto-negotiation with connected devices.
How can this converter be mounted or installed?
The unit offers flexible mounting options to suit various environments. It can be wall-mounted, attached to a DIN rail (common in industrial panels), placed on a shelf, or used as a standalone device on a flat surface. This versatility facilitates deployment in network closets, server racks, control rooms, or manufacturing floors without requiring specialized mounting hardware.
What is included in the package?
The package contains the S3220-1014 Transceiver/Media Converter unit itself and a power supply designed for use in Japan. These components provide everything needed for basic installation and operation, assuming you have the appropriate Ethernet and fiber optic cables.
What compliance and warranty does this product have?
This converter is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, making it suitable for U.S. government procurement. It also meets key environmental standards: REACH, RoHS, and WEEE. The product is backed by a lifetime limited warranty from the manufacturer, underscoring its build quality and long-term reliability for critical network links.
