The StarTech.com Gigabit Ethernet Copper-to-Fiber Media Converter bridges copper Ethernet to single-mode fiber, enabling long-distance Gigabit links. It pairs a 1000BASE-T copper interface with a 1000BASE-LX fiber link via a single-mode LC connection, supporting up to 20 kilometers at 1310 nm. This makes it ideal for campus backbones, data centers, or building-to-building links, delivering reliable, scalable performance with minimal network changes.

Features

• 1000BASE-T to 1000BASE-LX conversion: Bridges copper Ethernet to LX fiber for full Gigabit throughput across long distances.
• 1310 nm single-mode LC optics: Optimized for long-haul transmission with low attenuation.
• Up to 20 km transmission distance: Supports campus or building-to-building links without re-cabling.
• RJ-45 copper port: Provides a standard 1 Gbps copper connection to switches, routers, or devices.
• LC fiber port: Dedicated fiber interface for reliable, scalable fiber connectivity.
• Broad compatibility with LX fiber networks: Ensures seamless integration into existing 1000Base-LX deployments.
