Copper-to-Fiber Media Converter

This AddOn media converter bridges a 10/100/1000Base-TX RJ-45 port to a 1000Base-LX LC single-mode fiber link at 1310 nm. It is built for network teams that need to extend Ethernet beyond the 100 m copper limit without replacing existing switches or endpoints. The unit is unmanaged and requires no software configuration. It suits campuses, industrial sites and multi-building offices.

1 Gbps Throughput with 10 km Reach

The converter handles full 1000 Mbps line rate over single-mode fiber up to 10 km, removing the distance ceiling of twisted-pair cabling. It does not support Power over Ethernet, so attached devices must be powered locally. Throughput matches the 1000Base-LX standard and the RJ-45 side auto-negotiates down to 10 or 100 Mbps when needed.

Standalone AC-Powered Module

A 5 V DC external adapter ships with the unit, so a free mains socket is the only infrastructure required. One RJ-45 and one LC port occupy minimal rack or desk space and the converter works with any industry-standard 1000Base-LX transceiver at the far end. It is not for links exceeding 10 km, for multimode fiber runs or for PoE-powered edge devices.

Questions about this item

Will the RJ-45 port on this media converter link at 10/100/1000Base-TX speeds with my existing copper switches?

Yes, the RJ-45 port supports 10/100/1000Base-TX auto-negotiation so it will connect to your current copper switches at up to 1000Mbps.

How can I verify the 1310nm single-mode link is operating correctly after installation?

Check the link LED on the converter; a steady light confirms the 1000Base-LX LC connection is active over the single-mode fiber.

Does the box include the AC/DC 5V power adapter and are any fiber patch cables supplied?

The AC/DC 5V power adapter is included; single-mode LC fiber patch cables must be purchased separately.
