Gigabit Fiber to RJ45 Media Converter

This external fiber media converter connects LC single-mode or LC multi-mode fiber to a standard RJ-45 copper port at 1 Gbps. It supports IEEE 802.3z and IEEE 802.3ab standards for broad device compatibility. A compact metal housing ensures durability in professional installations. Auto-negotiation and Link Fault Pass-Through simplify network management.

Network teams extending copper links over fiber

IT staff who need to bridge a fiber backbone to copper switches or endpoints will use this converter. Installations requiring 10 Gbps throughput or Power over Ethernet must select different hardware. Environments exceeding 50 °C or 85 % relative humidity also fall outside the rated operating range.

LC fiber interface with 1 Gbps RJ-45 port

The single fiber port accepts either LC single-mode or LC multi-mode connectors, while the copper side provides one 1 Gbps RJ-45 connection. This fixed port arrangement decides whether the unit fits the planned link. Verify the fiber mode and distance requirements before ordering.

Questions about this item

What does the 1 Gbps rate mean when the converter is installed in a live network?

It converts fiber traffic to copper at full gigabit line speed, so the link runs at 1 Gbps in both directions without throttling.

Which IEEE standards does the LC-to-RJ-45 interface follow, and what do they cap?

The converter complies with IEEE 802.3z for fiber and 802.3ab for twisted-pair, limiting each port to 1 Gbps full-duplex operation.

What physical space and mounting does the metal-housing unit need?

The micro-mini enclosure weighs 0.1000 kg and fits on a desktop or shelf; no rack ears or DIN clips are included.
