The Intellinet Network Solutions Fast Ethernet Media Converter was specifically designed to offer the network designer a device for migration from copper-based Ethernet to Fibre Ethernet. Now migration or expansion of existing networks can be achieved with minimum cost and complexity. The converter is completely transparent to the network so the network performs exactly the way it did before - only now it can support both copper and fibre mediums. \n \nExpands the Size of an Existing Network \nProvides fibre connectivity to Ethernet segments, allowing for even further networking expansion between extended workgroups. Also provides building-to-building connectivity without the need for the cost and disruption associated with the installation of additional routers. \n \nEnhances the Distance between Networking Devices \nConnecting the converter to fibre segments can further extend distances between networking nodes. This can be achieved by direct connection between the converter and a fibre-based node or networking device. \n \nCabling Flexibility \nNetwork managers can install fibre cabling anywhere within a network without changing the arrangement of copper-based Ethernet. The compact size of the converter allows it to be easily deployed in any narrow desktop location or to be used in a wall-mount installation. Several converters can be simultaneously installed into a 19"; rack-mountable chassis.\n\n- Data transfer rate: 100 Mbps\n- One 10/100Base-TX RJ45 port, maximum distance 100 m / 300 ft.\n- RJ45 port with Auto MDI/MDI-X support and auto-negotiation\n- One 100Base-FX multi-mode Fibre ST duplex port\n- Fibre distance support: up to 2 km / 1.24 mi (62.5/125 or 50/125 µm cable)\n- Wavelength: 1310 nm\n- Flow control\n- Status LEDs for power and Link/TX for both ports\n- External power adapter, 5 V DC\n- Functions as a stand-alone converter or can be used with the 14-slot media converter chassis, model 507356\n- Three-Year Warranty
