Features
• One 10/100 RJ45 port supporting a maximum distance of 100 m (300 ft.)
• One 1000Base-SX fiber SC single-mode port supporting a maximum distance of 20 km (12.4 mi.)
• IP40 slim-type metal housing to withstand harsh industrial conditions
• Option for DIN-rail installation
• Two redundant DC inputs (12 - 58 V) with I/O terminal block
Connections
Twisted Pair – RJ45
Connect the UTP port of the media converter to an
RJ45 port on the network (e.g., to an Ethernet switch).
Cat5e or better cabling is recommended.
Fiber Optic
As shown, two fiber optic cables need to be connected
between two ideally identical media converters.
Make a connection from Media Converter 1 TX to Media Converter 2 RX, and from Media Converter 1 RX to
Media Converter 2 TX. Maximum length and fiber cable specification depend on the model. (See Models.)
