Small black rectangular network media converter with RJ45 and LC ports

Axiom

Axiom RJ45 10/100/1000Base-TX to 1000Base-ZX LC Media Converter

SKU CH-8KQP-1SCS3

Converts copper RJ45 10/100/1000Base-TX to 1000Base-ZX single-mode fibre via LC, supporting IEEE 802.3 standards in a compact unmanaged unit

  • Device TypeTransceiver
  • Converts copper to fibre for extended reach
  • Auto-negotiation simplifies plug-and-play deployment
  • DIP switches allow flexible port configuration
  • Compact design fits space-limited installations
  • LEDs give instant link-status visibility

Gigabit Copper-to-Fiber Converter

The Axiom Mini media converter connects a 10/100/1000Base-TX RJ45 copper link to a 100/1000Base-FX fiber port using an LC interface. It is an unmanaged, stand-alone device built for networks that need to extend Ethernet beyond copper distance limits. Its compact form factor suits installations where space is restricted. Auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDIX simplify the connection process.

Replaces Direct Copper Runs

This unit upgrades a standard twisted-pair segment to single-mode or multimode fiber when the link must travel farther than copper allows. The jump is worth it when existing cabling cannot meet the required distance or when electromagnetic immunity is needed. It supports IEEE 802.3u, 802.3z and 802.3ab protocols with flow control. DIP switches let you set operating modes without software.

Fits Space-Constrained Cabinets

The small chassis slides into tight racks, wall boxes or desktop enclosures without blocking adjacent ports. Unit and port LEDs give immediate link status for troubleshooting. Automatic link restoration reduces downtime after a cable fault. An open SFP variant is available if you prefer to choose your own transceiver instead of the fixed LC connector.

Questions about this item

What RJ45 cable category is required for the 10/100/1000Base-TX copper port?

Use Cat5e or better UTP cable for the 10/100/1000Base-TX RJ45 port; the port auto-negotiates speed and duplex and supports Auto-MDI/MDIX so crossover cables are not needed.

Which DIP switch settings must be checked before powering on the converter?

Set the DIP switches for the desired fiber mode and link speed before applying power; the switches control 100/1000Base-FX selection and flow-control behaviour, and changes take effect only after a reboot.

When should the SFP transceiver in the open SFP port be replaced?

Replace the SFP module if link LEDs show persistent loss of signal, CRC errors climb, or the module exceeds its rated temperature range; the converter itself has no moving parts and needs no scheduled maintenance.
