Transceivers/Media Converters

Extend Your Network with Fiber

The Gigabit Industrial Media Converter provides a cost-effective way to add fiber to your existing network infrastructure. It converts 10/100/1000Base-T(X) to 1000Base-X with ease.

Designed for the Toughest Environments

This media converter provides consistent network performance in the harshest work environments on earth. It features an operating temperature range of -40° to 158° F and rigid IP-30 housing.

Now it's easier than ever to add fiber to your network, no matter if your network is spread across a business campus, a large industrial site, or great distances, and/or subjected to temperature extremes.

These hardened media converters can be powered up one of four ways and operate in temperature extremes from -13 to +158° F (-25 to +70° C).

Good things, small packages.

The media converters are easy to install (literally plugand-play), tiny enough to fit in anywhere, and very economical.

Use them to bring fiber to the desktop or add fiber segments to your network to gain extra distance-up to 24.9 miles (40 km) with single-mode fiber.

Twice the conversion power

An Industrial MultiPower Media Converter enables you to connect 10-Mbps and 100-Mbps twisted-pair network segments to fiber optic cabling. It's both a media and datarate converter with 10/100 auto-negotiation on the twistedpair port. The fiber port operates at 100 Mbps.

You can also choose Gigabit models to link 1000BASE-TX twisted-pair network segments to 1000BASE-LX fiber optic cabling.

All Industrial MultiPower Media Converters have an HDX/ FDX function for half- and full-duplex autosensing.

Installation is easy

Just connect an Industrial MultiPower Media Converter to the RJ-45 connector on your PC's 10- or 100-Mbps Ethernet port using CATx cable, then connect fiber optic cable to the other side of the media converter.

What's more, these tiny converters tuck unobtrusively behind your PC.

Go the distance with fiber

The converters using multimode fiber support distances of up to 984.2 feet (300 m) or 1.2 miles (2 km)-enough distance for most LAN applications. For more extensive campus applications, choose single-mode or single-mode, single-strand models for long-distance runs of up to 6.2, 12.4, or 24.8 miles (10, 20, or 40 km).

More power to you.

Industrial MultiPower Media Converters can be powered one of four ways: by an external AC power supply included with each unit, by using 5-50-VDC terminal block power, by an optional USB Power Adapter Cable that plugs into a PC's USB port, or by an optional rackmount PowerTray.

Plus, Industrial MultiPower Media Converters are designed for use in harsh industrial environments.

The AC power supply is a universal external transformer that requires a nearby AC power outlet. The PowerTray provides power for up to 18 converters in only 1.5U of rack space. Rackmount ears are included.

You can even use multiple power options at the same time to provide maximum redundancy and ensure that your mission-critical applications remain up and running. For instance, you can connect a converter to a 5-50-VDC power source while also using AC adapter power and USB bus power. Then, if any one of these power sources fails, the other sources will continue to supply power to the converter seamlessly

The converters come with DIN clips, so you can attach them to a DIN rail. When installing multiple Industrial MultiPower Media Converters on a DIN rail, use one DC input source, then cascade from one DC block to the next until you reach the maximum current available.

Use multiple ways.
The Media Converter Network Interface Device, (2) 10-/100-/1000-Mbps Copper to (2) SFP is a carrier-class DIN-rail switch that has the versatility to handle many applications at the edge of your network. Two autosensing 10-/100/1000-Mbps ports plus two autosensing 100-/1000-Mbps SFP slots in an intelligent switch enable you to use the Media Converter Network Interface Device for managed fiber termination, fiber drop and insert, fiber repeater, fiber mode conversion, and dual independent copper-to-fiber media conversion with automatic failover.

Copper and/or fiber switch.
You can use the Device as a copper/fiber or all copper switch. The versatility is in the SFP slots. As a copper/fiber switch, you can have two 10-/100-/1000-Mbps copper ports and two autosensing 100-/1000-Mbps fiber SFP ports. But the SFPs also support 10-/100-10000-Mbps copper operation. So if you insert two copper SFPs, you will have an entirely copper switch.

Double-duty media conversion.
For more application diversity, the device gives you media conversion flexibility for distance extension. You can install it as a dual copper/fiber media converter then use it as two independent converters, saving a bundle in equipment costs.

Double-duty mode conversion with redundant 1+1 protection.
You can deploy this Device as a 4-port device with fiber redundancy. And it gives you two different mode conversions to choose from 1+1 Non-Revertive and 1+1 Revertive. Both relate to how the box responds if a primary link fails. In Non-Revertive mode, the box will continue to use the backup fiber link after the failure on the primary link has been fixed. In Revertive mode, the box will revert to the primary link.

The SFP slots auto-detect 100- or 1000-Mbps SFPs and comply with SFP Multi-Source Agreements standards (MSA) for complete compatibility with all standard SFPs.

Hardened for the edge of your network.
It's designed for industrial use, featuring an extended temperature range of -40 to +185° F (-40 to +85° C) plus dual DC power (-48 VDC or 5-24 VDC).

Fully manageable.
The switch is fully manageable via CLI or SNMP.

The switch has a mini-serial (RS-232) console management port that is accessed via the included mini-jack to DB9F cable.

DIN mounting requires the DIN Rail Clip (LXC-DR) (sold separately).
