Fiber-to-copper media conversion

This mini media converter bridges single-mode fiber and twisted-pair copper in Gigabit Ethernet networks. It provides one RJ-45 port and one SC port to connect 10/100/1000Base-T equipment to 1000Base-LX fiber links. The desktop, wall-mountable and rack-mountable form factor fits varied installation spaces. RoHS and WEEE compliance marks environmentally responsible manufacturing.

Replacing direct copper runs

Copper cabling limits Gigabit Ethernet to short distances while single-mode fiber reaches 6.21 miles. Deploy a pair of these units or a single unit alongside compatible fiber gear to extend links beyond the copper ceiling. The upgrade is worth it when existing twisted-pair infrastructure cannot span the required campus or building-to-building distance.

Layer-1 signal retransmission

Operating at the physical layer, the converter retransmits Gigabit Ethernet signals without store-and-forward packet inspection. This design avoids the latency introduced by layer-2 switching devices during sustained traffic flows. The result is consistent low-latency performance across the full 6.21-mile fiber span under continuous load.

Questions about this item

What physical space does the desktop, wall-mountable or rack-mountable M/GE-T-LX-01-NA require?

The transceiver fits a standard SFP slot and can be placed on a desktop, mounted on a wall or installed in a rack using the appropriate bracket.

How is the M/GE-T-LX-01-NA installed and which step is often missed?

Insert the module into an SFP port until it clicks, connect one RJ-45 cable and one single-mode SC fibre patch cord, then verify link LEDs on both ends.

What maintenance or replacement will the single-mode SC fibre link need later?

Inspect and clean the SC connector end-faces periodically; replace the patch cord if insertion loss exceeds the 6.21 mile link budget.
