- Lightweight at approximately 2 lb
Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is ideal for network expansion projects where fiber optic cabling needs to be introduced into existing copper-based infrastructure. It enables organizations to leverage fiber's distance and performance benefits without replacing all copper-connected devices.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting buildings across campuses, extending network reach in manufacturing facilities, or integrating fiber backbones into office networks. The rate conversion feature is particularly valuable for preserving investments in legacy 10/100 Mbps equipment while upgrading to Gigabit fiber connectivity.
Campus Network Extension
Connect multiple buildings across a campus using single-mode fiber to overcome copper distance limitations while maintaining Gigabit performance.
Legacy Equipment Integration
Bridge older 10/100 Mbps devices to modern fiber networks without requiring equipment replacement, protecting existing investments.
Physical Profile
The converter measures 1 inch in height, 3.25 inches in width, and 4.80 inches in depth, with an approximate weight of 2 pounds. Its compact form factor supports wall mounting, standalone placement on flat surfaces, or rail mounting in equipment racks. The durable construction ensures reliable operation in various environmental conditions, while the small footprint minimizes space requirements in crowded network closets or industrial settings.
