StarTech.com MCMGBSCMM055 - Media Converter - Fiber 1000Base-SX MM
Overview
Convert and extend a Gigabit Ethernet connection up to 550 m over multimode SC fiber
This fiber media converter extends a Gigabit Ethernet (1000Mbps) network up to 550 m over multimode fiber, on 1000BASE-SX networks.
Extend your GbE network cost-effectively
The fiber media converter offers a cost-effective way to transparently convert copper to fiber, or fiber to copper, for connecting remote sub-networks to larger fiber-optic networks. Providing both SC fiber and RJ45 Ethernet ports, it integrates easily into a wide range of Gigabit Ethernet network infrastructures. The RJ45 port supports triple-speed (10/100/1000 BASE-T) auto-negotiation.
Reliable and scalable network connectivity
Supporting a maximum multimode fiber-optic cable distance of 550 meters (0.34 miles), the media converter delivers a simple and reliable solution for connecting Gigabit Ethernet networks to remote locations over multimode fiber, while ensuring solid network performance. It provides optimum network scalability for connecting two or more Ethernet network nodes, for instance, connecting two buildings on the same campus or facility. The media converter also offers high-speed bandwidth to meet the increasing demands of large-scale workgroups that require expansion of a Gigabit Ethernet network.
- Extend Ethernet Over Distances: Convert and extend a 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet signal to Gigabit multi-mode SC fiber, up to 550m (1800ft); For specialized edge, industrial / remote deployments requiring long-range, secure wired connectivity
- Compact and Durable: Media converter installs almost anywhere with little to no configuration; Also mounts in the MCM7-MEDIA-CHASSIS or MCM15-MEDIA-CHASSIS for clean, professional integration into structured data centers, or server rooms; TAA compliant
- Reliable Performance Across Mixed Speeds: Supports IEEE 802.3 standards, Jumbo Frames (up to 9K), full-duplex flow control, auto-negotiation, and auto MDI/MDI-X; Delivers plug-and-play setup and reduced packet loss across legacy and high-speed links
- Deploy Efficiently in Compact, Power-Sensitive Spaces: Consumes only 3.75W (typical) via 5V DC input from included power adapter or chassis power supply and rated for 0°C to 50°C operating environments; Does not support PoE
- The IT Pro's Choice: Designed for reliability in edge and on-prem deployments, our media converters are lab-tested and field-proven for seamless integration and maximum uptime; Backed by free lifetime 24/5 multi-lingual technical assistance
