Technical Overview
This media converter operates at Fast Ethernet speeds (100 Mbps), converting 100Base-TX signals over twisted pair to 100Base-FX signals over fiber optic cable. It supports a 1310 nm wavelength and is compatible with 62.5/125 µm and 50/125 µm fiber core/cladding specifications, ensuring interoperability with standard fiber infrastructure.
The converter provides one RJ-45 port for copper Ethernet and one SC port for fiber connectivity, with no management interface for plug-and-play operation. It includes 6kV surge protection on the RJ-45 port to safeguard against electrical transients in industrial settings.
This section brings together practical product details such as Total Number of Ports, Network (RJ-45), DVI, Media Type Supported, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

User Manual
FAQ
What does this fiber converter actually convert?
The TI-F10S30 converts 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet signals from copper twisted pair (RJ-45) to 100Base-FX signals for transmission over single-mode or multi-mode fiber optic cable with SC connectors. This allows you to extend Ethernet network segments beyond the 100-meter limitation of copper cabling.
What is the maximum distance supported by this converter?
This converter supports fiber optic transmission distances up to 30 kilometers (approximately 18.64 miles) when using single-mode fiber. The actual achievable distance may vary based on fiber quality, connectors, and environmental conditions, but 30 km represents the manufacturer's specified maximum under standard conditions.
What power supply does this converter require?
The converter requires a 12-60V DC power input connected via the removable terminal block. The power supply is sold separately (model TI-M6024). The wide input voltage range accommodates various industrial power sources, and the converter includes overload current protection for enhanced reliability in fluctuating power conditions.
How is this converter mounted in industrial settings?
The converter includes both DIN-rail and wall mount kits for flexible installation. It can be mounted on standard DIN-rails in control cabinets or directly to walls using the provided hardware. The compact dimensions (5" x 3" x 10") make it suitable for space-constrained industrial enclosures while maintaining accessibility to all ports.
What environmental protection does the IP40 rating provide?
The IP40 rating indicates protection against solid objects larger than 1.0 mm in diameter, making it suitable for industrial environments where dust and small particles may be present. This is complemented by an extended operating temperature range of -40° to 75°C, allowing deployment in uncontrolled climates where standard commercial converters might fail.
Is this converter suitable for government or infrastructure projects?
Yes, the TI-F10S30 is TAA compliant for U.S. and Canadian government procurement and meets NDAA requirements. This makes it appropriate for public sector deployments, critical infrastructure projects, and any application requiring compliance with government sourcing regulations for networking equipment.
