Fiber Media Converter Kit Selle Italia FMC-1G LINKIQ — 1 Gbps single‑mode/multi‑mode support

The Selle Italia FMC-1G LINKIQ is a fiber media converter kit that enables conversion between copper Ethernet and optical fiber at Gigabit speeds. Designed for network edge deployments and fiber uplinks, the kit supports standard 1 Gbps Ethernet throughput and provides LINKIQ diagnostics for link verification and troubleshooting. It is intended to convert RJ45 ports to SFP-based optical interfaces, allowing integration of single‑mode or multi‑mode fiber links with existing copper infrastructure.

Advantages

The kit supports both single‑mode and multi‑mode fiber connectivity while maintaining a stable 1 Gbps Ethernet data rate. Integrated LINKIQ diagnostics simplify link testing and verify proper fiber connection without requiring separate handheld tools. The SFP interface offers flexibility in choosing transceivers and enables longer reach where fiber is required. The converter design facilitates quick deployment at the network edge or for uplink segments.

Suitable for

• Extending Ethernet networks over fiber for long‑distance links
• Converting RJ45 copper ports to SFP optical interfaces
• Network edge and access layer deployments
• Fiber uplinks between switches or to service provider handoffs

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Interface types: RJ45 (copper) to SFP (optical)
• Fiber support: single‑mode and multi‑mode (dependent on installed SFP transceiver)
• Diagnostic feature: LINKIQ link verification
• Intended use: media conversion for Ethernet to fiber links

How to use

Install an appropriate SFP transceiver for the desired fiber type and reach, then insert it into the SFP slot on the media converter. Connect the copper Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port and connect the fiber cable to the SFP transceiver. Power the converter according to the kit instructions and use the LINKIQ diagnostics to verify link status and troubleshoot any connection issues. Configure connected network devices as needed to match link speed and duplex settings.

Recommendations

Choose SFP transceivers that match your fiber type and distance requirements, and perform LINKIQ diagnostics after installation to confirm proper optical levels and link integrity before putting the link into production.
