FAQ
What media types does this converter support?
This converter supports both optical fiber and twisted pair copper media. On the fiber side, it uses SC duplex connectors with multi-mode fiber (62.5/125 µm), while the copper side features a standard RJ-45 port for Ethernet connections. This dual-media support enables seamless conversion between fiber optic and copper network segments.
What is the maximum distance supported on fiber?
The converter supports fiber optic connections up to 2 kilometers (approximately 1.24 miles) when using multi-mode fiber with 62.5/125 µm core/cladding specifications. This distance capability significantly exceeds the 100-meter limitation of standard copper Ethernet, making it ideal for extending network segments between buildings or across large facilities.
What network speeds does this converter support?
This converter supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds on both media types. The copper RJ-45 port supports 10/100/1000Base-TX with auto-negotiation, while the fiber SC duplex port supports 1000Base-X. This ensures full 1000 Mbps throughput is maintained during media conversion between copper and fiber network segments.
What type of fiber connector does this converter use?
The converter uses SC duplex connectors for fiber optic connections. SC connectors provide reliable, push-pull coupling with excellent optical performance. The duplex configuration supports both transmit and receive fibers in a single connector pair, ensuring proper bidirectional communication over the fiber link.
How is this converter powered?
