Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates on Fast Ethernet technology, specifically 10/100Base-TX, which provides backward compatibility with legacy network equipment while supporting modern twisted pair cables. It achieves a maximum distance of 0.10 km (approximately 100 meters) per port, ideal for extending network segments within buildings or across short outdoor runs. The three RJ-45 ports enable multi-point connections, allowing the device to serve as a small hub or converter in star or daisy-chain topologies.
Power efficiency is a key feature, with a low consumption of 2.40 W, reducing operational costs and heat output. The unit supports various mounting options, including standalone placement, rack-mounting, wall mounting, DIN rail mounting, and shelf mounting, offering installation flexibility in server rooms, control panels, or office spaces. Its compact dimensions—1" height, 3.25" width, and 4.80" depth—ensure it fits into tight spaces without compromising performance.
