Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates at a 1310nm wavelength on single-mode fiber, providing a maximum supported distance of 10 kilometers (6.21 miles), which is ideal for campus backbones, building-to-building links, or long-haul network segments. It delivers full Gigabit Ethernet throughput at 1000 Mbps, ensuring no bottleneck in data transfer between the fiber and copper network segments. The device handles conversion between the electrical signals on the RJ-45 port and the optical signals on the SC port transparently, maintaining network integrity.
The converter supports a broad range of media types, including optical fiber and twisted pair, and is compatible with standard Gigabit Ethernet switches and network interface cards. Its technical design ensures low latency and stable performance for continuous operation in demanding network environments.
Key Product Advantages
The S3220-1014-SA converter extends network reach efficiently by leveraging the distance and noise immunity advantages of single-mode fiber optics. It eliminates the need for expensive fiber-ready switches at every point in the network, allowing organizations to integrate fiber backbones with existing copper-based infrastructure cost-effectively.
Extended Distance Capability
Overcomes the 100-meter limitation of standard Cat5e/6 copper cabling by supporting links up to 10 kilometers over single-mode fiber, ideal for connecting separate buildings or long industrial runs.

Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is strategically deployed to integrate fiber optic segments into predominantly copper-based networks. It serves as a critical interface point where the superior distance and electromagnetic interference (EMI) resistance of fiber are required, but end-point devices or existing network equipment only have copper Ethernet ports.
Common use cases include extending a network from a main building to a remote warehouse or outbuilding over single-mode fiber, connecting security cameras or access control systems over long distances in industrial parks, and integrating fiber backbones into legacy office networks without replacing all edge switches. The compact form factor and multiple mounting options make it equally suitable for clean installations in server racks or rugged placements on factory floors.
Building-to-Building Connectivity
Connect network segments between separate structures over single-mode fiber, bypassing distance limits and ground potential differences associated with direct copper runs.
Industrial Network Extension
Deploy in manufacturing or utility environments to link control systems or sensors over long distances where EMI from heavy machinery would degrade copper cable performance.
Physical Profile
The converter features a compact and durable chassis measuring 1" (25.4 mm) in height, 3.25" (82.55 mm) in width, and 6.50" (165.1 mm) in depth, with an approximate weight of 2 lb (907.18 g). This small footprint allows for dense installations in space-constrained locations like wiring closets or control panels. The design includes integrated mounting points for secure wall, DIN rail, or shelf attachment, providing stability and organized cable management in varied deployment scenarios.

FAQ
What does this media converter actually do?
This Transition Networks converter bridges two different network cable types. It takes a Gigabit Ethernet signal from a standard RJ-45 copper cable (like Cat5e/6) and converts it to an optical signal for transmission over a single-mode fiber optic cable with an SC connector, and vice-versa. This allows you to extend your network much farther than copper alone can reach.
What is the maximum distance I can achieve with this converter?
When using single-mode fiber optic cable, this converter supports a maximum distance of 10 kilometers (approximately 6.21 miles). This significant reach is ideal for connecting network segments between buildings or across large industrial sites where running direct copper cable is not feasible due to distance limitations or electromagnetic interference.
What type of fiber optic cable and connector does it use?
The converter is designed for use with single-mode fiber optic cable and features one SC-type fiber port. Single-mode fiber is used for long-distance transmission. The SC connector is a standard, push-pull style connector commonly used in datacom and telecom applications for its reliability and good performance.
How is this device powered?
The converter is powered by an included external AC adapter. The power supply provided with this specific model (S3220-1014-SA) is configured for use in South Africa. The device does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE); it requires connection to this dedicated power source for operation.
What are the mounting options for installation?
The compact design offers flexible installation. It can be securely mounted on a wall using its integrated brackets, attached to a standard DIN rail commonly found in industrial control panels, placed on a shelf, or used as a standalone unit on a flat surface. This versatility suits both structured wiring closets and rugged industrial environments.
What standards and warranties apply to this product?
This converter is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, making it suitable for U.S. federal government procurement. It also meets key environmental standards: RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances), REACH (chemicals regulation), and WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive). Transition Networks backs the product with a lifetime limited warranty, providing long-term assurance of its quality and durability.
