Single-mode Fiber Optic Ethernet Media Converter 100 base (pair)

A Single-mode Fiber Optic Ethernet Media Converter (100Base) is a network device used to connect copper-based Ethernet networks (typically using Cat5/5e/6 cables) to single-mode fiber optic cabling, supporting Fast Ethernet speeds (100 Mbps). These converters are ideal for extending network connections over long distances where copper cabling is not feasible.

🔧 Features of 100Base Single-mode Fiber Optic Media Converter:

1. Speed Support:

   • Supports 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet (IEEE 802.3u standard).

2. Media Conversion:

   • Converts electrical Ethernet (RJ45) signals to optical fiber signals and vice versa.

3. Fiber Type:

   • Uses single-mode fiber, suitable for long-distance transmission (up to 20 km or more, depending on the model and optical power).

4. Connector Types:

   • RJ45 port for copper Ethernet.

   • SC, ST, or LC fiber connectors (commonly SC for single-mode).

5. Wavelength:

   • Typically operates at 1310 nm for transmission over single-mode fiber.

6. Duplex Modes:

   • Supports full-duplex and half-duplex operation.

7. LED Indicators:

   • Shows status like Power, Link/Act, Speed, and Fiber activity.

8. Auto-Negotiation:

   • Automatically detects and configures network speed and duplex settings on the copper side.

9. Power Supply:

   • External AC adapter or internal power supply; options for DIN rail or rack-mountable models are available.

10. Distance Capability:

    • Varies by model: common distances are 10 km, 20 km, 40 km, 60 km, or up to 120 km using high-powered lasers.

📘 Typical Use Cases:

• Campus networks or industrial settings requiring long-distance links between buildings.

• Security camera systems where remote devices need long-range Ethernet connectivity.

• Extending network access in rural or remote locations.

• Linking network switches or routers across fiber backbones.
