Description
Convert and extend a Gigabit Ethernet connection up to 20km (12.4 miles) using single-mode LC fiber cable.
This Gigabit Ethernet to fiber media converter offers a reliable way to extend your network up to 20 km (12.4 mi) using single-mode LC fiber, providing increased range, enhanced security, and reduced interference compared to copper-based connections. It's TAA compliant and designed for government and commercial applications where long-distance and rack-mountable fiber access is needed.
Built for Versatility and PerformanceConvert 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 to Gigabit LC fiber using a media converter that complies with IEEE 802.3 standards. It supports full/half duplex, auto-negotiation, MDI/MDI-X, and 9K jumbo frames for high-performance networking in mixed copper-fiber environments.
Smart Diagnostics and Rugged DesignBuilt with a compact full metal chassis, this converter includes LED indicators for power and link activity, plus a DIP switch to enable Link Fault Passthrough (LFP) with LLCF/LLR for easier network troubleshooting and reliability.
Flexible Installation for Any Network SetupDeploy in minutes with plug-and-play setup and multiple mounting options including wall-mount, DIN-rail, or media chassis installation. It includes a 5V DC, 2A power adapter, making it ideal for server rooms or network closets.
