GbE to SC FM Converter 1000BaseLX SM This fibre media converter converts and extends a Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) network up to 10 km over single-mode fibre on 1000BASE-LX networks. Extend your GbE network cost-effectivelyThe fibre media converter provides a cost-effective way to transparently convert copper to fibre, or fibre to copper, for connecting remote sub-networks to larger fibre-optic networks. Providing both SC fibre and RJ45 Ethernet ports, it integrates easily into a wide range of Gigabit Ethernet network infrastructures. The RJ45 port supports triple-speed (10/100/1000 BASE-T) auto-negotiation. Reliable and scalable network connectivitySupporting a maximum single-mode fibre cable distance of up to 10 km (6. 2 mi. ), the media converter delivers a simple and reliable solution for connecting Gigabit Ethernet networks to remote locations, while ensuring solid network performance. It provides optimum network scalability for connecting two or more Ethernet network nodes, for instance, connecting two buildings on the same campus or facility. The media converter also delivers high-speed bandwidth to meet the increasing demands of large-scale workgroups that require expansion of a Gigabit Ethernet network. The MCMGBSCSM10 is backed by a StarTech. com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
