The STARTECH ET91000SM10 is a Gigabit Ethernet copper-to-fiber media converter designed for IT professionals and businesses requiring extended network reach. This device facilitates the conversion of a standard Gigabit Ethernet copper connection to a single-mode LC fiber optic link, enabling data transmission over distances up to 10 kilometers (6.2 miles). It addresses the challenge of overcoming Ethernet's distance limitations, making it suitable for connecting geographically dispersed network segments, extending campus networks, or linking devices in large industrial environments where copper cabling is impractical. The converter ensures reliable data transfer across longer distances while maintaining Gigabit speeds, providing a practical solution for network infrastructure expansion and integration.
This media converter is designed for use with single-mode (SM) LC fiber cable, supporting connections up to 10 kilometers.
The converter can extend a Gigabit Ethernet connection up to 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) when utilizing single-mode LC fiber cable.
The primary function is to convert a Gigabit Ethernet copper connection to a fiber optic connection, allowing for network extension over longer distances than traditional copper cabling permits.
No, this specific model is designed for single-mode (SM) LC fiber cable only.
