Overview



Convert and extend a Gigabit Ethernet connection up to 24.8 miles (40km) over Single Mode LC fiber.

This Gigabit Ethernet to fiber media converter offers a reliable way to extend your network up to 40 km (24.8 mi.) using single-mode LC fiber, providing increased range, enhanced security, and reduced interference compared to copper-based connections. It's TAA compliant and designed for government and commercial applications where long-distance and rack-mountable fiber access is needed.

Built for Versatility and Performance

Convert 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 to Gigabit LC fiber using a media converter that complies with IEEE 802.3 standards. It supports full/half duplex, auto-negotiation, MDI/MDI-X, and 9K jumbo frames for high-performance networking in mixed copper-fiber environments.

Smart Diagnostics and RuggedCloseA rugged item is specifically designed to operate reliably in harsh usage environments and conditions, such as strong vibrations, extreme temperatures and wet or dusty conditions. They are used in the agricultural industries, and by individuals for outdoor recreation activities. Design

Built with a compact full metal chassis, this converter includes LED indicators for power and link activity, plus a DIP switch to enable Link Fault Passthrough (LFP) with LLCF/LLR for easier network troubleshooting and reliability.

Flexible Installation for Any Network Setup

Deploy in minutes with plug-and-play setup and multiple mounting options including wall-mount, DIN-rail, or media chassis installation. It includes a 5V DC, 2A power adapter, making it ideal for server rooms or network closets.
