Conversor de media Fast Ethernet Intellinet, 10/100Base-Tx para 100Base-Fx (ST) multimodo, 2 km (1,24 milhas)

The Intellinet Fast Ethernet Media Converter converts 10/100Base-Tx copper Ethernet to 100Base-Fx fibre, enabling migration or expansion of existing networks with minimal cost and complexity. The converter is transparent to network protocols and preserves existing network behaviour while adding support for fibre links. It features ST multi-mode fibre connectivity, a metal housing, LED indicators for LAN, Link and Power, and supports IEEE 802.3/802.3u standards with a maximum throughput of 100 Mbit/s and a maximum fibre distance of up to 2000 m.

Advantages

This media converter extends network reach by providing fibre connectivity between Ethernet segments and offers building-to-building links without installing additional routers. It increases the distance between networking devices when connected to fibre segments, allows flexible placement of fibre cabling without changing existing copper Ethernet layouts, and can be mounted on a desktop, wall or installed in a 19" rack-mount chassis. Compact metal housing and LED status indicators simplify deployment and monitoring.

Suitable for

• Extending LAN segments over fibre up to 2000 m
• Connecting copper Ethernet devices to fibre backbone
• Building-to-building links without extra routers
• Environments requiring ST multi-mode fibre connections

Key specifications

• Maximum data transfer rate: 100 Mbit/s
• Ethernet LAN (RJ-45) ports: 1 (10/100Base-Tx)
• Fiber ports quantity: 1 (100Base-Fx, ST connector, multi-mode)
• Maximum transfer distance: up to 2000 m
• Standards: IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u
• Wavelength: 1310 nm
• Product colour: Black
• Weight: 0.5 kg

How to use

Connect the RJ-45 10/100Base-Tx port to your copper Ethernet device or switch and connect the ST fibre connector to the multi-mode fibre cable leading to the fibre segment or device. Power the unit and verify LED indicators for LAN, Link and Power to confirm proper operation. The converter is plug-and-play and functions transparently, requiring no additional configuration for standard Ethernet traffic.

Recommendations

Install the converter close to the connected copper device or in a wall/desktop location; when deploying multiple units in a central location consider using the compatible 19" rack-mount chassis. Use multi-mode ST fibre cables matched to the converter's 1310 nm wavelength and observe maximum distance limits (up to 2000 m) for reliable links.
