A Single-mode Fiber Optic Ethernet Media Converter 1000Base (also known as Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter) is a networking device designed to extend Ethernet connections over long distances by converting electrical Gigabit Ethernet signals (1000 Mbps) to optical signals using single-mode fiber.


🔧 Key Features of 1000Base Single-mode Fiber Optic Media Converter:

  1. Speed Support:

    • Supports 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) Gigabit Ethernet per IEEE 802.3z/802.3ab standards.

  2. Media Conversion:

    • Converts between:

      • Copper (RJ45) to

      • Single-mode fiber (SC/LC/ST interface depending on model).

  3. Fiber Typesingle-mode fiber, optimized for long-distance transmission.

  4. Transmission Distance:

    • Common ranges: 10 km, 20 km, 40 km, 60 km, 80 km, or even up to 120 km, depending on model and optical transceiver power.

  5. Wavelength:

    • Typically uses 1310 nm for up to 20 km

    • Uses 1550 nm for longer distances (40 km+)

  6. Connector Types:

    • Copper side: RJ45 (Auto MDI/MDIX)

    • Fiber side: SC, LC, or SFP slot for pluggable modules

  7. Duplex Modes:

    • Supports full-duplex communication for fiber and copper

  8. Auto-Negotiation & Auto MDI/MDIX:

    • Automatically configures the link speed and crossover type

  9. LED Indicators:

    • Power, Link/Activity, Speed, FX Link (fiber status), and more

  10. Power Options:

    • External adapter or integrated PSU

    • Options for industrial DIN-rail mount or rack-mount chassis (for multiple converters)

  11. Standards Compliance:

    • IEEE 802.3ab (1000Base-T)

    • IEEE 802.3z (1000Base-LX)

    • IEEE 802.3x (Flow Control)

  12. Build Options:

    • Standalone units or modular cards for managed media converter chassis


📘 Typical Applications:

  • Enterprise networks extending gigabit Ethernet across buildings or campuses

  • Data centers connecting core switches to remote racks

  • Telecom and ISP infrastructure over long-haul fiber

  • Industrial or transportation systems requiring ruggedized long-range Ethernet links
