User Manual
FAQ
What does this media converter do?
This media converter bridges copper and fiber network segments by converting Gigabit Ethernet signals from a standard RJ-45 port to a duplex SC single-mode fiber optic interface. It allows you to extend network connections up to 10 kilometers using fiber cabling, overcoming the distance limitations of traditional copper Ethernet cables.
What is the maximum distance supported?
The converter supports fiber optic links up to 10 kilometers (approximately 6.21 miles) when using single-mode fiber at 1310 nm wavelength. This extended reach is ideal for connecting buildings, campuses, or remote network equipment where copper cabling would be insufficient due to signal degradation over long distances.
What types of cables and connectors are compatible?
On the copper side, it uses a standard RJ-45 port compatible with Cat5e, Cat6, or higher twisted pair Ethernet cables. On the fiber side, it requires a duplex SC connector single-mode fiber optic cable operating at 1310 nm. The included SC connector cap protects the port when not in use.
How is the converter powered?
It is powered by an included external AC adapter with a NEMA 1-15P plug. The adapter accepts 100-240VAC input at 50/60 Hz and provides 12VDC 1.5A output. The converter itself consumes only 1.80 watts, making it energy-efficient for continuous operation in network environments.
What mounting options are available?
The converter supports three mounting methods: wall mounting using the included hardware, DIN rail mounting with the provided kit, or standalone desktop placement with rubber feet. This flexibility allows installation in server racks, control panels, office desks, or industrial settings without requiring dedicated rack space.
What is included in the warranty and compliance?
The product comes with a 2-year limited warranty from Tripp Lite by Eaton, covering defects in materials and workmanship. It is environmentally compliant with RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive) standards, and it is TAA compliant, making it suitable for government and commercial procurement.
