Copper-to-fibre bridge

The PLANET FT-801 converts 10/100Base-TX copper links to 100Base-FX multi-mode fibre. It extends Ethernet segments up to two kilometres using ST connectors at a 1310 nm wavelength. An external 5 V DC power adapter is included for desktop or wall-mount installation. The unit operates from 0 to 50 °C and stores safely from -40 to 70 °C.

Who benefits and who does not

Network engineers extending campus or building links beyond copper reach will find the 2 km multi-mode range fit for purpose. Installations requiring single-mode fibre, longer distances, SC or LC connectors, or Gigabit speeds cannot use this converter. Builders needing managed features or redundant power inputs should look elsewhere.

Deciding specification

The fibre interface uses multi-mode ST connectors with a 2 km reach at 1310 nm. Match this exact connector type, mode and distance to the existing patch panel or transceiver before purchase.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the ST multi-mode version or a single-mode alternative?

The FT-801 uses multi-mode fiber with an ST connector and reaches 2 km at 1310 nm; single-mode models are separate products with different distance ratings.

What does the 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX rating mean for actual throughput?

In full-duplex mode the converter delivers 200 Mbps effective bandwidth; in half-duplex it provides the nominal 100 Mbps.

Which Ethernet and fiber standards does the ST port comply with, and what distance does that limit me to?

The fiber port follows IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-FX over multi-mode ST, capping the link at 2 km.
