What This Product Is

The StarTech.com ET91000SC2 is a Gigabit Ethernet multi-mode fiber media converter with one SC port and one RJ-45 port. It extends a 1000 Mbps network over fiber at distances up to 550 m or 1804 ft. The unit converts 1000Base-T Ethernet into 1000Base-LX/SX optical signals and supports desktop or rack-mount installation.

Pre-Installation Checks

Verify that your existing network uses SC-type multi-mode fiber patch cables and that the link distance does not exceed 550 m. Confirm the copper side connects to a 10/100/1000Base-T port with an RJ-45 cable. Ensure you have a suitable power source for the converter and physical space for desktop or rack-mount deployment.

Who This Suits

Network administrators who need to bridge copper and fiber segments at Gigabit speed over multi-mode fiber within 550 m. Not suitable for single-mode fiber runs, links longer than 550 m, or installations that require managed features or additional ports beyond the single SC and RJ-45 interfaces.

Questions about this item

Does the ET91000SC2 come with a power supply or do I need to buy one separately?

The converter is a desktop or rack-mountable unit that requires external power; the package includes the media converter only, so a compatible power adapter must be sourced separately.

Should I choose a single-mode or multi-mode version for a 550-metre link?

This model is built for multi-mode fiber and reaches 550 m (1804 ft) at 1000 Mbps; select it when your existing cabling is multi-mode and the run stays within that distance.

What does the 1000 Mbps rating mean when the converter is installed in a live network?

It transparently bridges 10/100/1000Base-T copper to 1000Base-LX/SX fiber, so the link runs at full gigabit speed provided both ends negotiate 1000 Mbps.
