The STARTECH ET91000SFP2 is a fiber to Ethernet converter designed to facilitate the extension of a Gigabit Ethernet connection over fiber optic cabling. This device is suitable for IT professionals and businesses requiring reliable network connectivity over longer distances than traditional copper Ethernet allows, or in environments where electromagnetic interference is a concern. It addresses the challenge of integrating fiber optic segments into existing copper-based Gigabit Ethernet networks by providing an open SFP slot, allowing for flexible fiber module selection based on specific distance and fiber type requirements. This converter helps bridge the gap between different network media, ensuring consistent Gigabit speeds for critical network infrastructure.
The primary function of this device is to convert a Gigabit Ethernet connection to fiber optic and vice versa, allowing for the extension of network reach over fiber cabling.
This converter supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds, ensuring high-bandwidth data transmission over the extended fiber connection.
No, this product features an open SFP slot, meaning the SFP module must be chosen and supplied separately to meet specific fiber requirements.
This converter solves the problem of extending Gigabit Ethernet connections beyond the typical distance limitations of copper cabling, or for integrating fiber into existing copper networks.
