Product Features
Technical Overview
Technically, this converter handles full-duplex Gigabit Ethernet conversion. The RJ-45 port auto-negotiates speed (10/100/1000 Mbps) and duplex with connected copper devices, while the Duplex LC port interfaces with standard multi-mode fiber optic cables using 850 nm optics. This wavelength is common for short to medium-range multi-mode applications within buildings or campuses.
The device is powered by an included external AC adapter with a wide input range (100-240V, 50/60 Hz), making it suitable for international deployment. The power adapter outputs 48V DC to the converter. The unit itself is environmentally compliant with RoHS, RoHS 3, REACH, and WEEE directives.
Key Product Advantages
This media converter extends network reach effectively by converting electrical signals to optical signals, overcoming copper distance limitations. It allows integration of fiber backbone segments into existing copper-based network edges without replacing entire infrastructures.
Distance Extension
Extends a standard Gigabit Ethernet network up to 0.55 km over multi-mode fiber, far beyond the 100-meter limit of Cat5e/6 copper cabling.
- Overcomes copper distance limits
- Utilizes fiber's noise immunity
Flexible Deployment
The compact, pole- or ceiling-mountable design allows installation in non-rack locations, perfect for discreet placement in ceilings, on walls, or in tight equipment areas.
Global Power Ready
Includes four international power cables (North America, Europe, U.K., Australia) and a universal input power supply, making it ready for deployment in various regions without additional power adapters.
Deployment / Use Cases
This converter is ideal for scenarios where you need to connect a copper-based network device (like a switch, router, or server) to a fiber optic backbone or link. It's commonly used to extend network segments between buildings on a campus, connect devices in industrial environments where EMI is a concern, or integrate fiber runs into existing copper wiring closets.
Specific use cases include connecting a copper switch in an office wiring closet to a fiber backbone in a data center, extending a network to a remote security camera or access point over fiber, or linking equipment in separate buildings within a 0.55 km range. Its mounting options make it suitable for installation on poles in warehouses or ceilings in retail spaces where rack space is unavailable.
Physical Profile
The converter has a compact, standalone enclosure measuring 2.76 inches wide, 3.74 inches deep, and 0.98 inches high (70.10 mm x 95 mm x 24.89 mm). It features integrated mounting points for pole or ceiling installation, offering flexibility for placement in various environments. The small footprint and low profile allow it to be installed discreetly in space-constrained locations.

FAQ
What does this media converter do?
This Tripp Lite converter bridges two different network media types. It takes a standard Gigabit Ethernet signal from an RJ-45 copper cable (like Cat5e/6) and converts it to an optical signal for transmission over a Duplex LC multi-mode fiber optic cable, and vice-versa. This allows you to extend your network beyond the 100-meter limit of copper cabling.
What type of fiber optic cable is compatible?
The converter requires a multi-mode fiber optic cable with Duplex LC connectors. It operates at an 850 nm wavelength, which is standard for most short-range multi-mode applications. Ensure your cable has the appropriate core size (typically 50/125µm or 62.5/125µm) to support the full 0.55 km distance.
What is the maximum distance supported over fiber?
The converter supports a maximum link distance of 0.55 kilometers, which is approximately 0.34 miles, when using compatible multi-mode fiber optic cable. This distance is significantly greater than the 100-meter limit of standard copper Ethernet cabling.
How is this device powered?
It is powered by an included external AC power supply. The power supply accepts a wide input voltage range of 100-240V AC at 50/60 Hz, making it suitable for use in most countries. The package includes four regional power cables for North America, Europe, the U.K., and Australia.
Can this converter be mounted in a rack?
No, this converter has a standalone, compact form factor designed for pole or ceiling mounting. It does not have rack ears or a standard rack-mount chassis. Its small size allows for flexible installation on walls, poles, or in ceiling spaces where rack space is not available.
What warranty does this product have?
Tripp Lite provides a 2-year limited warranty for this transceiver/media converter. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. Always refer to the official warranty terms included in the documentation for complete details and support procedures.
