Convertitore di media Intellinet Gigabit Ethernet monomodale, da 10/100/1000Base-T a 1000Base-Lx (SC) monomodale, 20 km

The Intellinet Gigabit Ethernet Single Mode Media Converter converts 10/100/1000Base-T copper Ethernet to 1000Base-LX single-mode fiber, enabling long-distance network links up to 20 km. Designed for migration and expansion of existing networks, this compact device features a Gigabit RJ-45 port and one SC fiber port, supports data rates of 10/100/1000 Mbit/s on the copper side and 1000 Mbit/s on the fiber side, and operates at a wavelength of 1310 nm. The metal housing and FCC Class B and CE certifications ensure reliable operation and regulatory compliance for commercial and industrial environments.

Advantages

The converter provides cost-effective migration from copper to fiber without replacing existing Ethernet equipment. It extends link distance between network nodes and supports building-to-building connectivity while avoiding the expense and disruption of installing additional routers or extensive rewiring. Its compact metal housing allows desktop or rack-mount deployment, and the SC connector offers stable fiber coupling for long runs up to 20 km.

Suitable for

• Extending Ethernet links between buildings or distant floors
• Migrating existing copper networks to single-mode fiber
• Connecting remote switches, routers or servers over long distances
• Deployments requiring a compact media converter for desktop or rack installation

How to use

Install the media converter near the copper Ethernet device and connect the RJ-45 port to the switch, router or network interface using standard Ethernet cable. Terminate and connect the single-mode fiber cable to the SC connector and to the remote fiber device or patch panel. Power the unit using the supplied power adapter and verify link/activity LEDs to confirm the fiber and copper link are active. For rack installations, mount the converter in an appropriate 19" chassis designed for media converters if required.

Recommendations

Place the converter in a ventilated location and avoid exposure to extreme temperatures or moisture. Use single-mode fiber with appropriate connector polishing and clean connectors before mating to minimize loss. When deploying multiple converters, consider using a 19" rack-mount chassis to centralize power and simplify cable management.
