Ethernet to Fiber Media Converter provides the capability to connect UTP copper-based Ethernet devices to a fiber optic link, allowing for the utilization of the advantages offered by optical fiber. These advantages include:
Furthermore, the 10/100/1000Base-Tx to 1000Base-Fx media converters feature a single SFP slot, making them highly adaptable for gigabit network deployments. They enable the extension of a copper-based gigabit connection over fiber optic cable, allowing for maximum distances of up to 80km.
Additionally, these converters can be easily installed into a standard converter chassis, and the procedures for installation and operation are straightforward. The front panel of the converter is equipped with a set of Diagnostic LEDs, which allows for local monitoring of the operation status.
Moreover, by simply changing the inserted SFP module, the media converter offers effective solutions for networks with different transmission rates (100M and 1000M), modes (single mode and multi-mode), distances (2km, 10km, 20km, 40km, 60km, and 80km), and interfaces (LC/SC, etc).
