Know before you buy
This converter is designed for use with multimode fiber optic cabling. It specifically supports both 62.5/125 and 50/125 micron multimode fiber standards.
Yes, this unit offers flexible power options. You can choose to power it via the included AC adapter or through a USB connection, which can be toggled using the built-in switch.
Link Fault Pass-Through is a diagnostic feature that allows the converter to monitor the link status on both the fiber and copper ports. If a link fails on one side, the device automatically disables the link on the other, ensuring that your network management software can accurately detect the failure.
No, the RJ45 port features automatic MDI/MDI-X configuration. This means the device automatically detects whether you are using a straight-through or crossover cable and adjusts accordingly for a seamless connection.
Yes, the device includes dip switches that allow you to manually select between half-duplex and full-duplex operation to match the requirements of your specific network hardware.
This media converter allows you to extend your network reach up to 2 kilometers (approximately 6,550 feet) over multimode fiber cabling.
