StarTech 1000 Mb/s Gigabit Single-Mode Ethernet Copper to Fiber Media Converter

Description

The StarTech 1000 Mb/s Gigabit Single-Mode Ethernet Copper to Fiber Media Converter converts a Gigabit Ethernet signal to an optical one, allowing you to extend a network connection using a fibre backbone. The convertor is compatible with single-mode fibre cables that feature a wavelength of 1310 nm and provides a connection distance of up to 12.4 miles (20 km). Its steel enclosure ensures that it can withstand demands of harsh environments while also reducing the strain on copper-based network equipment. This simple solution, which is rack-mountable and also works as a standalone unit, joins Gigabit Ethernet networks in different locations together while ensuring reliable network performance and scalability. Furthermore, it can operate in half- or full-duplex mode and supports auto MDIX so you can set up and troubleshoot your network easily.

Key Features:

• Flexible network integration with support for rack-mount and standalone operation
• Converts copper to fibre and extends your network up to 12.4 miles (20 km) using single-mode LC fibre-optic cable
• Removable SFP module (LC fibre connector) can be replaced should network infrastructure change
• Supports Link Fault Passthrough (LFP), Auto Laser Shutdown (ALS), and Auto MDIX
• Up to 9.6K Jumbo Frame support
• Compatible with Gigabit (1000 Mbps) copper (IEEE 802.3ab, 1000BASE-T) and fibre (IEEE 802.3z, 1000BASE-LX) protocols
• Rugged steel enclosure
• Simple installation

Connect to your network from remote areas or separate buildings at greater distances than copper (RJ45) cable allows with fibre optic cable

Ideal for secure connections required by government agencies where EMI isn't acceptable

Removable SFP module lets you easily expand the number of ports on your existing network now or in the future
