InLine Network Media Converter 10/100/1000Mb/s TP to SFP FO, MM, 550m

The InLine Network Media Converter 10/100/1000Mb/s TP to SFP FO (LC Duplex), MM, 550m enables economical migration or expansion of wired networks by converting copper Ethernet to multimode fiber. It complies with IEEE 802.3 standards and provides one RJ45 10/100/1000Base-T port together with an SFP slot for LC duplex fiber modules, supporting transmission distances up to 550 m over multimode fiber. The compact black unit includes LED indicators for link activity and power and operates from a 5 V, 1 A input.

Advantages

The converter supports Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet data rates (10/100/1000 Mbit/s) and allows seamless integration into existing network cabling without reconfiguration. Its SFP slot provides flexibility to use different compatible fiber modules, and the device is suitable for extending network segments or connecting separate buildings over fiber with low latency and electromagnetic isolation.

Suitable for

• Extending Ethernet networks to remote office floors or rooms
• Connecting separate buildings or campus sites via multimode fiber
• Integrating fiber links into existing copper-based network infrastructure
• Short- to medium-range fiber connections up to 550 m

Key specifications

• Maximum data transfer rate: 1000 Mbit/s
• Ethernet LAN (RJ-45) ports: 1 (10/100/1000Base-T)
• Fiber ports quantity: 1 (SFP slot for LC duplex modules)
• Maximum transfer distance over multimode fiber: 550 m
• Ethernet interface types: Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet
• Ethernet LAN data rates supported: 10, 100, 1000 Mbit/s
• Product colour: Black

How to use

Install a compatible LC duplex multimode SFP module into the SFP slot, connect the fiber patch cable between converters or to the fiber network, and plug the copper connection into the RJ45 port. Power the unit with a 5 V DC, 1 A supply and check LED indicators for link/activity and power status. The device operates transparently at the physical layer and requires no special configuration for basic point-to-point or network segment extension scenarios.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use multimode LC duplex SFP modules and fiber patch cables matching the converter's optical specifications and keep fiber runs within the 550 m limit. Place converters in ventilated locations and use a regulated 5 V DC power source. Verify compatibility of SFP modules with the converter model before installation.
