Weight (media converter only): 13.4oz (0.4kg)ДЇiber connections: LC, Multimode or Singlemode SFP module (Accepts up to two SFP modules)Д¬opper connection: RJ-45 (standard Ethernet) (Four ports available)ДЇiber cabling: Multimode: duplex, 50/125 (recommended) or 62.5/125. Power supply included operates at 110-240vac at 50-60Hz. To use the second SFP port, you would have to buy another SFP module, which we can sell separately. You would also be able to then run another fiber link, from a SFP module in the second SFP port to another similar unit and serve another group of computers, printers, etc. An example of this use would be to run a longer fiber link from your server/router to an open office location, and then you are able to connect the media converter to four local computers. This allows the unit to act as a small Ethernet switch as well as a media converter. This unit has four RJ ports for copper Ethernet connections and two ports that accept SFP mini-GBIC modules. An additional SFP module may be ordered for the second SFP port to further extend the fiber optic network beyond this media converter. This unit includes one multimode (10/100/1000, 850nm) SFP module. The fiber connections are LC on an inserted SFP module and the copper Ethernet connection is RJ-45. Distance on the Ethernet side is 100 meters (328 feet) using Cat-5 or better (unshielded or shielded twisted pair) copper cable.

There are other variations of these fibers which allow greater distances. With a 1300/1310nm multimode SFP (LX), the distance is typically 550 meters on 62.5u, 50u, or 50u OM3 (aqua) fiber. With a 850nm multimode SFP (SX), the distance is typically 300 meters on 62.5u fiber, 550 meters on 50u fiber, and 1km on 50u OM3 (aqua) fiber.

Maximum distance for this unit over fiber depends upon the SFP module and the type of fiber used.
