Product Highlights

• Connect Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Gigabit Ethernet copper ports to fiber optic cable.
• Extend your Gigabit network up to 70 kilometers over fiber optic cable.

Features

• Work as data rate converters, performing 10-/100-/1000-Mbps speed autonegotiation on the twisted-pair port.
• Auto MDI/MDI-X means you never need to worry about what kind of cable to use.
• Easy to install. Just plug and play.
• Autosensing copper ports make them perfect for migrating networks from Ethernet to Fast Ethernet all the way to Gigabit Ethernet.
• Compact size.
• Use inexpensive CAT5e twisted-pair cable on the copper side.
• For long-distance transmissions, choose single-mode media converters, which support distances of 10 kilometers (6.2 mi.), 40 kilometers (24.8 mi.), or 70 kilometers (43.5 mi.), depending on the model.
• Power three ways: through the external 100–240-VAC AC power supply (included with each converter), with the optional USB Power Adapter Cable (which plugs into a PC's USB port), or via the optional rackmount PowerTray.
• The PowerTray provides power for up to 18 converters in only 5U of rack space. Rackmount ears are included.
