Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates at Gigabit Ethernet speeds (1000Mbps) and supports auto-negotiation for 10/100/1000Base-T connections on the copper side, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of network equipment. The fiber interface implements 1000Base-X technology for reliable optical transmission up to 0.55 kilometers (0.34 miles) over multi-mode fiber.
The converter accepts standard twisted pair cables (Cat5e or higher recommended) on the RJ-45 port and uses industry-standard SC duplex connectors for the fiber interface. This design provides a clean, professional conversion point that maintains signal integrity while enabling longer distance connections than copper alone can support.
Key Product Advantages
This converter delivers practical benefits for network expansion and infrastructure modernization projects by providing a reliable bridge between copper and fiber segments. Its compact design and straightforward operation make it suitable for both temporary deployments and permanent installations.
Distance Extension
Extend network segments beyond the 100-meter limitation of standard copper Ethernet by converting to fiber optic cabling that supports distances up to 0.55 kilometers.
- Overcomes copper distance limitations
- Maintains Gigabit performance over extended runs
- Reduces signal degradation over long distances
Media Flexibility
Connect existing copper-based network equipment to fiber optic infrastructure without replacing endpoints, protecting your investment in current hardware.
- Bridge copper and fiber networks seamlessly

FAQ
What types of connections does this media converter support?
This converter supports one RJ-45 port for twisted pair copper Ethernet connections and one SC duplex port for multi-mode fiber optic connections. The RJ-45 port is compatible with standard Cat5e, Cat6, or higher cabling and auto-negotiates between 10/100/1000Base-T speeds. The SC duplex port supports 1000Base-X Gigabit Ethernet over multi-mode fiber with 850nm wavelength.
What is the maximum distance this converter can support over fiber?
The converter supports distances up to 0.55 kilometers (0.34 miles) when used with multi-mode fiber optic cable. This represents a significant extension compared to the 100-meter limitation of standard copper Ethernet cabling, making the device ideal for connecting network segments across buildings or throughout large facilities.
What type of fiber optic cable is compatible with this converter?
This converter is designed for use with multi-mode fiber optic cable featuring SC duplex connectors and 850nm wavelength. Multi-mode fiber is cost-effective for short to medium-distance applications and is commonly used in campus environments, data centers, and building backbones. The SC duplex connector provides reliable optical coupling with easy insertion and removal.
