Network Media Converter EFB Elektronik EL022V2

The EFB Elektronik EL022V2 is a compact network media converter for connecting Fast Ethernet copper networks to multimode fiber links. It supports 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet on the RJ-45 port and uses an ST multimode fiber connector to reach up to 2000 m at 1310 nm. The device comes with an external power supply and a metal housing with dimensions 94 x 71 x 26 mm, and can be used as a standalone unit or mounted in a compatible chassis (EL0CH1).

Advantages

The EL022V2 provides autonegotiation and Auto MDI/MDI-X functionality, simplifying installation with no manual crossover required. Diagnostic LEDs give clear status information for link and activity. Its metal housing offers durable protection in mixed network environments, while the included external power supply ensures immediate operation without additional accessories.

Suitable for

• Extending Fast Ethernet networks over multimode fiber up to 2000 m
• Connecting copper-based switches, routers or single RJ-45 devices to fiber segments
• Use as a standalone media converter or installed in a compatible chassis (EL0CH1)
• Industrial or commercial network segments requiring a compact metal-housed converter

Key specifications

• Maximum data transfer rate: 100 Mbit/s
• Ethernet LAN (RJ-45) ports: 1
• Fiber ports quantity: 2
• Ethernet interface type: Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbit/s)
• Fiber optic connector: ST (multimode)
• Maximum transfer distance: 2000 m at 1310 nm
• Product colour: Black
• Dimensions (L x W x H): 94 x 71 x 26 mm

How to use

Install the EL022V2 on a stable surface or insert it into the compatible chassis (EL0CH1) if rack consolidation is required. Connect the copper Ethernet device to the RJ-45 port and the multimode ST fiber to the fiber port. Plug in the supplied external power supply and verify the diagnostic LEDs for link and activity status. Autonegotiation and Auto MDI/MDI-X handle speed and crossover configuration automatically.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use multimode fiber and ST connectors that match the specified wavelength (1310 nm) and maintain appropriate fiber handling practices. Avoid exposing the metal housing to corrosive environments and ensure proper ventilation around the unit. When deploying multiple converters, consider using the EL0CH1 chassis for centralized power and organized cabling.
