The 100M-1SC-2RJ45-(A+B) Fiber Media Converter is a device that bridges fiber optic and copper-based Ethernet networks. It supports both single-mode or multi-mode fiber through the SC (Subscriber Connector) port and allows conversion between fiber and standard 10/100 Mbps Ethernet over copper via the two RJ45 ports.
Key Features:
- 1 SC Fiber Port (A+B): The SC port handles fiber optic connections, suitable for connecting long-distance devices over fiber.
- 2 RJ45 Ethernet Ports: These are 10/100Mbps ports for copper-based Ethernet devices.
- Conversion: It converts electrical signals from copper-based Ethernet to optical signals and vice versa, facilitating the integration of fiber optic cabling into an existing Ethernet network.
- Duplex Mode: The A+B specification suggests a bi-directional fiber link, enabling simultaneous data transmission and reception.
- Distance: Depending on the fiber type (single-mode or multi-mode), the device can transmit data over several kilometers.
This media converter is commonly used in environments where long-range communication between network devices is needed, such as between buildings or in areas where fiber optic infrastructure is in place but copper connections are required.
