Industrial Converter RJ-45 ROLINE 1000SX/LC

The ROLINE Industrial Converter RJ-45 ROLINE 1000SX/LC provides direct media conversion between a Gigabit copper RJ-45 port and a Gigabit fiber SFP port. Designed for industrial environments, it supports 1000 Mbit/s Ethernet LAN data rates and operates over a wide temperature range. The unit is compact and energy-efficient, available with two power interface options and compatible with DIN-rail or panel mounting.

Advantages

This plug-and-play media converter requires no configuration and supports full wire-speed conversion with transparent handling of all packet types and lengths. It features auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDI-X on the copper port, link pass-through between copper and fiber, and Far End Fault support on the fiber side. Low power consumption and rugged operating temperature make it suitable for continuous industrial use.

Suitable for

• Extending Gigabit Ethernet over fiber in industrial networks
• Connecting copper-based switches or devices to fiber infrastructure
• Applications requiring DIN-rail or panel-mounted media conversion

Key specifications

• Ports: 1 x Shielded RJ-45 (1000 Mbps), 1 x SFP with pre-configured fiber transceiver
• Copper features: Auto-negotiation, Auto-MDI/MDI-X
• Fiber features: SFP connector, Far End Fault support
• Power input: 7–30 V DC; power consumption: 2.5 W (max.)
• Operating temperature: -20 °C to +70 °C
• Dimensions (W×D×H): 28 × 82 × 95 mm

How to use

Install the media converter on a DIN-rail or mount it to a panel, connect a shielded RJ-45 cable from your copper Ethernet device to the RJ-45 port and insert the pre-configured SFP transceiver into the SFP slot for the fiber connection. Provide power via the selected interface (screw terminal block or DC jack) within the 7–30 V DC range. The device operates in plug-and-play mode; after physical connections and power-up, link negotiation and conversion occur automatically.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term operation, ensure the selected SFP transceiver matches the fiber type and distance required by your installation and protect the unit from sustained exposure to temperatures outside the specified -20 °C to +70 °C range.
