User Manual
FAQ
What does this media converter do?
This media converter bridges Gigabit Ethernet networks by converting signals between a standard RJ-45 twisted pair port and a duplex LC multi-mode fiber port. It allows you to extend network connections over longer distances using fiber optic cabling while maintaining compatibility with existing copper-based equipment.
What is the maximum distance supported over fiber?
The converter supports a maximum distance of 0.55 kilometers (approximately 0.34 miles) when used with multi-mode fiber optic cables. This extended reach is ideal for connecting network segments across buildings or within large facilities where traditional copper Ethernet cables would be insufficient.
What type of fiber optic cable is compatible?
It is compatible with multi-mode fiber optic cables that have core/cladding specifications of 50/125 µm or 62.5/125 µm, operating at an 850nm wavelength. This includes common OM1 and OM2 multi-mode fibers, making it suitable for standard enterprise and data center deployments.
How is the converter powered?
The converter is powered by an external AC adapter, which provides stable electrical supply without relying on Power over Ethernet (PoE). This ensures reliable operation in environments where PoE may not be available or preferred for media conversion devices.
What Ethernet speeds does it support?
It supports Gigabit Ethernet with auto-negotiation for 10/100/1000Base-T on the copper RJ-45 port, allowing data transfer rates up to 1000Mbps. This ensures full compatibility with modern network switches, routers, and endpoints for high-performance connectivity.
Can this converter be used in rack-mounted setups?
Yes, its compact dimensions of 2.54" H x 11.94" W x 6.99" D and lightweight design make it suitable for rack mounting or desktop placement. This flexibility allows for integration into network cabinets, data centers, or office environments with efficient space utilization.
