InLine Network Media Converter 10/100/1000Mb/s TP to FO (SC Duplex), MM, 550m

The InLine Network Media Converter 10/100/1000Mb/s TP to FO (SC Duplex), MM, 550m provides a compact solution for migrating or expanding wired networks by converting electrical Ethernet signals to optical fibre and vice versa. It supports IEEE 802.3 standards with one RJ45 10/100/1000Base-T port and an SC duplex multimode fibre slot, enabling fibre links up to 550 m at 1310 nm. LED indicators show power, link/activity and status, and the unit is powered via a 5 V, 1 A input.

Advantages

The converter enables cost-effective extension of network segments and interbuilding connections without changing existing copper cabling. It supports both Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet speeds, provides simple monitoring through LEDs, and its small desktop form factor allows flexible placement in network environments.

Suitable for

• Extending LAN segments over distances up to 550 m using multimode fibre
• Connecting separate buildings or remote network closets
• Migrating parts of a copper network to fibre while keeping existing infrastructure
• Integrating Gigabit and Fast Ethernet devices into a fibre backbone

Key specifications

• Maximum data transfer rate: 1000 Mbit/s
• Ethernet LAN (RJ-45) ports: 1 (10/100/1000Base-T)
• Fibre ports: 2 (SC duplex, multimode)
• Maximum transfer distance (fibre): 550 m
• Wavelength: 1310 nm
• Ethernet interface types: Gigabit Ethernet, Fast Ethernet
• Power input: 5 V, 1 A
• Product colour: Black

How to use

Connect the RJ45 port to the copper network device (switch, router or PC) and insert an SC duplex multimode fibre cable into the fibre slot. Power the converter using a compatible 5 V, 1 A power supply. Verify operation by checking the LED indicators for power and link/activity. For a point-to-point fibre link, connect a second identical converter at the remote site using the multimode fibre cable.

Recommendations

Use multimode SC duplex fibre rated for 550 m at 1310 nm and ensure both ends use compatible media converters. Place the converter in a ventilated area and avoid exposure to moisture. For reliable performance, check LED indicators after installation and use shielded Ethernet cabling where appropriate.
