Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates at layer 2, transparently converting Ethernet signals between its RJ-45 port and SFP slot. The RJ-45 interface handles twisted pair copper cables up to 100 meters, while the SFP slot accepts industry-standard small form-factor pluggable modules for fiber optic connections, supporting both multimode and singlemode fiber types as per the installed SFP.
The device achieves a maximum data transfer rate of 1000 Mbps, ensuring no bottleneck in Gigabit network segments. It includes a USB port for potential management or auxiliary functions, though specific USB capabilities depend on the installed firmware and configuration. Power is supplied via an external AC adapter, with the converter itself consuming minimal power for continuous operation.
Key Product Advantages
The S3220-1040-SA simplifies network integration by eliminating media mismatches, allowing cost-effective use of existing copper infrastructure while enabling fiber runs for longer distances or noisy environments. Its compact, mountable design ensures it can be installed discreetly in racks, on walls, or on DIN rails, saving valuable space in crowded network cabinets.
Flexible Media Support
Converts between twisted pair copper and optical fiber, supporting both common media types through its RJ-45 port and SFP slot. This allows network designers to choose the optimal cable type for each segment based on distance, interference, and budget.
- Twisted Pair up to 100m
- Fiber via SFP modules
- 10/100/1000Base-T and 100/1000Base-X
Versatile Mounting Options
Designed for easy installation in various environments, the converter can be wall-mounted, attached to DIN rails, placed on a shelf, or used as a standalone unit. This flexibility accommodates industrial, commercial, and telecom deployments without requiring custom brackets.

Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is ideal for extending network segments beyond the 100-meter limit of standard copper Ethernet by converting to fiber optic cable. Common applications include connecting buildings across a campus, linking floors in a high-rise, or integrating industrial equipment in electrically noisy environments where fiber's immunity to EMI is critical.
In retail or office settings, it can adapt older copper-based network drops to support newer fiber backbone connections, facilitating network upgrades without rewiring. For security and surveillance systems, it enables long-distance camera feeds over fiber while maintaining Gigabit throughput for high-resolution video streams.
Network Extension
Extend Ethernet connections beyond 100 meters by converting copper to fiber, enabling runs up to kilometers depending on the SFP module used. Perfect for connecting remote buildings or devices.
- Overcome copper distance limits
- Use fiber for long runs
- Maintain Gigabit speed
Industrial Integration
Deploy in manufacturing or utility environments where electrical interference can disrupt copper signals. Fiber optic conversion ensures reliable data transmission in noisy conditions.
- EMI immunity with fiber
- Rugged mounting options
- Continuous operation in harsh settings
