  • Transparently bridge 1000Base-T to 1000Base-LX/SX optical signals

Gigabit Fibre Media Converter

This Gigabit Ethernet to multimode fibre converter extends a network over fibre at distances up to 550m (1804ft). It transparently converts 1000Base-T Ethernet into 1000Base-LX/SX optical signals. The unit provides one duplex LC port and one RJ-45 port for connectivity. It supports desktop placement or rack-mountable installation for flexible deployment.

Multimode Fibre Distance Limit

The converter operates over multimode fibre with a maximum reach of 550 metres. Signal attenuation and bandwidth constraints of multimode cable prevent reliable operation beyond this distance. For longer links a single-mode fibre solution would be required. The LC duplex interface connects directly to standard multimode patch cables.

550m Multimode Reach

The 550-metre multimode range determines whether this converter suits the link length. Installations needing greater distance cannot use this model. Buyers who need longer fibre runs must select a different converter designed for single-mode fibre.

Highlights

Questions about this item

Which version should I choose if I need to extend a Gigabit Ethernet link over multimode fibre up to 550 m?

The ET91000LC2 is the single model offered; it converts 1000Base-T to 1000Base-LX/SX over one duplex LC port and reaches 550 m (1804 ft) on multimode fibre.

What does the 1000 Mbps headline speed deliver once the converter is installed in a live network?

It provides a transparent Gigabit Ethernet bridge, so connected devices see a standard 1000 Mbps full-duplex link with no configuration required.

What interface does the fibre side use and what distance does it cap in practice?

One duplex LC port carries the optical signal; the multimode fibre run is limited to 550 m (1804 ft) at Gigabit speed.
