Gigabit Media Converters
Connect and Extend Gigabit Ethernet
Gigabit Media Converters are used to easily connect two different types of devices or networks. While linking copper and fiber networks is the most common application, Gigabit Media Converters also enable users to join two multimode networks or link multimode to single mode for longer Gigabit data transmission distances. Gigabit Media Converters are also the perfect solution to convert and extend various types of data signals throughout your network. If you have two devices or LANs that do not match, due to different speeds, operation types, modes or cable types, you are in the right place.
- Operation in Unmanaged or Secure Managed Networks
- Extend network distances up to 160km [100 miles]
- Operate in -40C to +75C (-40F to +167F)
- Enable Gigabit speeds across a multimode fiber link up to 2km in length (learn more)
