StarTech 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Single Mode WDM SC Fiber Media Converter Kit
The ET90110WDM2 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Single Mode WDM Fiber Media Converter Kit SC (20km) lets you extend a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connection over single mode fiber, at distances up to 20 km (12.4 mi). The converter offers Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (WDM), enabling bi-directional communication over a single strand of fiber, essentially doubling the capacity of your existing fiber infrastructure without having to install new cabling.The Ethernet to WDM Fiber Kit includes both endpoints (two interchangeable modules) - a simple solution for connecting 10/100Base-T networks to remote locations using SC-terminated single mode fiber. The Ethernet to Fiber Converter also features a durable all-steel chassis and a simple plug-and-play installation with minimal configuration required. For added versatility, this fiber media converter supports standalone operation or one or both sides can be installed into a 20 Slot, 2U Rackmount Chassis (ETCHS2U). Backed by a StarTech 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support. WDM (Wave Division Multiplexing) technology allows the use of a single fiber cable for full-duplex bidirectional communication Kit includes local and remote converter module for a complete solution Supports standalone operation or installation into the ETCHS2U Rackmount Chassis Maximum Fiber Cable Length of 20 Km Advanced features include Link-loss forwarding, remote status monitoring, two frame lengths Supports full or half-duplex operation Easy to use and install Advantage Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) fiber cuts cabling costs in half or doubles existing network speed/capacity using pre-existing cables Provides Ethernet to Fiber conversion as a standalone device or can be installed into the ETCHS2U 20 slot chassis for added versatility Rugged steel casing for durability in harsh environments Applications Provides connectivity to a user or network segment that is in an isolated area of a large complex or in another building altogether Suitable for environments such as government agencies, where security threats (network tapping, etc.) need to be prevented Connect traffic control/monitoring systems at extreme distances to the main office Extend network connectivity to remote areas of stadiums, auditoriums or other venues Converts 10/100Base-T Ethernet to 100Base-FX fiber optic signals (and back - includes both endpoints) over single mode fiber cable
