StarTech.com MM Fiber Ethernet Media Converter ST 2km | MCM110ST2EUSeamlessly bridge the gap between your copper and fiber optic network infrastructure with the StarTech.com Multi-Mode Fiber Ethernet Media Converter. This high-performance adapter is the ideal solution for extending your network reach far beyond the 100-meter limitation of traditional RJ45 Ethernet cabling. Convert and extend a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connection over multi-mode ST fiber, providing a reliable and secure link to remote network segments, satellite offices, or separate buildings up to 2 kilometers away.The MCM110ST2EU 10/100 Multi Mode ST Fiber Ethernet Media Converter (2 km) creates a cost-effective Ethernet to fiber link, transparently converting to/from 10Base-T or 100Base-Tx Ethernet signals and 100Base-Fx optical signals to extend an Ethernet network connection over a multimode fiber backbone.The ST media converter supports a maximum multimode fiber optic cable distance of 2km (1.2 miles), providing a simple solution for connecting 10Base-T/100Base-Tx Ethernet networks to remote locations using ST-terminated multimode fiber, while delivering solid network performance and scalability.Easy to setup and install, this compact, value-conscious fast Ethernet media converter features auto-switching MDI and MDI-X support on the RJ45 UTP connections as well as manual controls for UTP mode, speed, Full and Half Duplex, as well as LFP on/off.Key Benefits for Your Network* Cost-Effective Extension: Leverage existing fiber optic infrastructure or implement a new fiber link without the need for expensive switch upgrades. This media converter provides a budget-friendly way to overcome the distance limitations of copper Ethernet.* Reliable Long-Distance Connectivity: Transmit data flawlessly over distances up to 2 km (1.2 miles). Fiber optic signaling is immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI), ensuring a clean, stable, and secure connection in electrically noisy environments.* Plug-and-Play Simplicity: Designed for immediate deployment, the converter features Auto MDIX on the RJ45 port, eliminating the need for crossover cables and simplifying installation. Its compact, standalone design with a durable metal housing allows for flexible placement on a desktop or wall.* Advanced Control and Diagnostics: For more complex network configurations, the device offers manual dip-switch controls for Speed, Duplex mode (Full/Half), and Link Fault Passthrough (LFP). LFP aids in troubleshooting by immediately alerting administrators to a lost link on either the fiber or copper side.Main Features* Converts and extends a 10/100Base-T Ethernet signal over 100Base-FX multi-mode fiber.* Supports a maximum fiber optic cable distance of 2 km (1.2 miles).* Features one female ST fiber optic connector and one RJ45 UTP port.* Automatic MDI/MDI-X detection for the RJ45 port simplifies connections.* Manual configuration switches for UTP mode, speed, duplex, and
