Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates as a transparent bridge between Gigabit Ethernet over twisted pair and single-mode fiber optic connections. It supports full-duplex communication on both ports, ensuring no data loss or latency during conversion. The RJ-45 port auto-negotiates to 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds, while the SC fiber port is fixed for 1000Base-LX operation at 1310 nm, compatible with standard single-mode fiber cables.
Power is supplied via an external AC adapter, with a low consumption of 5.40 watts, making it energy-efficient for always-on deployments. The device does not require configuration or management software, functioning as a plug-and-play solution that immediately extends network segments. Its compact dimensions of 1" height, 3.25" width, and 4.80" depth allow for dense installations in space-constrained environments.
Key Product Advantages
The SGETF1014-110 media converter eliminates the need for expensive network upgrades by allowing existing copper-based equipment to connect to fiber optic backbones. This extends network reach up to 10 kilometers without signal degradation, ideal for campus networks, industrial plants, or between buildings where direct cabling is impractical.
Dual Mounting Flexibility
Includes keyhole slots for wall mounting and optional rack ears for standard 19" rack installation, providing versatile deployment options to suit any infrastructure layout.
- Wall-mountable for quick ad-hoc setups
- Rack-mountable for organized data center installations
Reliable Signal Conversion
Maintains Gigabit Ethernet performance across both media types, ensuring smooth data transfer for bandwidth-intensive applications like video surveillance, VoIP, and data backups.
- Supports twisted pair for durability and improved signal transfer
- Uses single-mode fiber for long-distance clarity
Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is commonly deployed in scenarios where network segments need to span beyond the 100-meter limit of copper Ethernet. For example, connecting a network switch in a main office building to a remote security camera system over single-mode fiber, or linking warehouse inventory systems to central servers across a large industrial campus.
It also serves in data center environments to integrate legacy servers with fiber-based storage area networks, or in educational institutions to extend network access to distant classrooms or dormitories. The wall-mount capability makes it suitable for mounting near entry points or in utility closets, while rack mounting consolidates multiple units in server rooms for streamlined cable management.
Campus Network Extension
Connect buildings across a university or corporate campus using existing fiber infrastructure, avoiding costly rewiring while maintaining Gigabit speeds.
Industrial Automation
Integrate PLCs and sensors in manufacturing plants by converting copper signals to fiber for noise immunity and long-distance runs in harsh environments.
Physical Profile
The media converter features a sturdy metal enclosure that dissipates heat efficiently during continuous operation. Its slim profile of 1" height minimizes space usage when mounted vertically on walls or horizontally in racks. The front panel includes LED indicators for power and link status on both ports, providing at-a-glance monitoring without additional tools.

FAQ
What types of cables does this media converter support?
It supports twisted pair copper cables (like Cat5e or Cat6) on the RJ-45 port and single-mode fiber optic cables with SC connectors on the fiber port. This allows conversion between these two media types for extending network segments.
What is the maximum distance supported on fiber?
The media converter supports up to 10 kilometers (about 6.21 miles) on single-mode fiber when using 1000Base-LX technology. This makes it suitable for long-distance connections between buildings or across campuses without signal repeaters.
Does this converter require external power?
Yes, it includes an external power supply (North American version) that provides 5.40 watts of power. The converter does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE) and must be plugged into a standard AC outlet for operation.
Can this media converter be mounted in a rack?
Yes, it is rack-mountable with optional rack ears, allowing installation in standard 19-inch racks. It also supports wall mounting via keyhole slots, offering flexibility for different deployment environments like data centers or telecom closets.
What network standards does it support?
It supports 1000Base-T for Gigabit Ethernet over twisted pair and 1000Base-LX for Gigabit Ethernet over single-mode fiber. Both standards operate at 1000 Mbps, ensuring full-speed data transfer across the converted connection.
Is this product compliant with government procurement regulations?
Yes, it is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, meaning it meets requirements for use in U.S. government and other regulated procurement scenarios. It is also manufactured in the United States, supporting domestic sourcing preferences.
