StarTech ET1000SM40LC 1000BTX To Fibre Single-Mode Media Converter

Product Description

The StarTech ET1000SM40LC media converter is engineered to provide a robust solution for extending network infrastructure beyond the limitations of standard Ethernet cabling. By converting electrical signals from a copper twisted-pair network to optical signals for single-mode fiber, it enables reliable data transmission over much longer distances. This is particularly useful in campus environments, metropolitan area networks, or any scenario requiring connectivity between buildings or across significant geographical separations. The converter supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds, ensuring high-performance data transfer for demanding applications. The single-mode fiber capability allows for distances up to 40 kilometers, making it an ideal choice for long-haul network extensions. The use of LC connectors ensures a secure and standard connection for fiber optic patch cords, while the 1310nm wavelength is typical for single-mode fiber operations. Installation and operation are straightforward, with auto-negotiation on the copper port simplifying integration into existing networks. Comprehensive status LEDs provide at-a-glance information on link status, activity, and power, aiding in troubleshooting and network management. The inclusion of an external power adapter ensures compatibility with various power environments.
