Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter handles conversion between twisted pair copper and optical fiber media. It features one RJ-45 port for copper connectivity and one SC port for multi-mode fiber, with support for T1/E1/J1 and 10/100Base-TX network technologies. The maximum supported distance is 2 kilometers over fiber, significantly extending network reach beyond typical copper limitations.
The converter operates with a low power consumption of 6 watts and includes a dedicated power supply. Its compact form factor allows for flexible placement, and the wall-mount capability helps keep installations tidy. The unit is designed with five total ports, though the specific breakdown emphasizes the primary conversion pair.

Deployment / Use Cases
This converter is typically deployed where network segments need to transition from copper to fiber media. Common scenarios include extending an existing copper network across a campus, connecting two buildings with pre-existing fiber infrastructure, or integrating fiber backbone links into copper-based edge networks.
It is also effective in service provider environments for T1/E1/J1 link termination or conversion. The wall-mount option makes it suitable for space-constrained installations like wiring closets, while the standalone operation allows for temporary or test bench setups.
Campus Network Extension
Connect separate buildings over existing multi-mode fiber runs while maintaining Fast Ethernet speeds, ideal for schools, hospitals, or corporate campuses.
Service Provider Access
Terminate T1/E1/J1 service links and convert them to standard Ethernet for customer premises equipment, supporting legacy and modern network interfaces.
Physical Profile
The converter has a compact physical footprint measuring 1.80 inches in height, 3.70 inches in width, and 6.50 inches in depth. It weighs approximately 2 pounds, making it easy to handle and mount. The design includes keyholes or mounting points for secure wall attachment, and the standalone form allows it to sit on a shelf or desk when wall mounting isn't required.
