The STARTECH ET91000SC2 is an Ethernet media converter designed to extend a Gigabit Ethernet connection over multi-mode SC fiber optic cable. This device facilitates the conversion of a standard copper Ethernet signal to a fiber optic signal, enabling network connectivity over longer distances than traditional copper cabling allows. It supports extension up to 550 meters (1804 feet). This converter is suitable for IT professionals and businesses needing to bridge network segments across different buildings or within large facilities where electromagnetic interference is a concern or distance limitations of copper Ethernet are exceeded. It addresses the practical challenge of integrating fiber optic infrastructure with existing copper-based network equipment, providing a reliable solution for extending network reach without requiring a complete overhaul of the network architecture.
This media converter can extend a Gigabit Ethernet connection up to 550 meters (1804 feet) over multi-mode SC fiber.
The converter is designed for use with multi-mode SC fiber optic cable.
Its primary function is to convert a Gigabit Ethernet connection from copper to fiber, allowing for extended network reach and integration of fiber optic segments.
No, while it works with Ethernet, it is categorized as an Ethernet Media Converter, not an Ethernet cable itself.
