Eaton's Tripp Lite Series Media and Mode Converters
Extend Network Signals Over Fiber Optic Cables
Networks requiring signal conversion or extended transmission distances often integrate copper and fiber infrastructure. Eaton's Tripp Lite series media and mode converters facilitate this by converting Ethernet signals to fiber and enabling signal transmission over miles of fiber optic cables. These devices are ideal for data centers, server rooms, network closets, and other IT installations.
Key Features and Benefits
- Copper-to-Fiber Media Converters: Convert Ethernet signals to fiber, overcoming the 100-meter limitation of conventional copper cables. Models with PoE+ (Power over Ethernet) extend Gigabit Ethernet data and power to PoE+ devices, allowing placement away from AC outlets.
- Fiber Mode Converters: Enhance fiber network versatility by converting multimode signals to singlemode signals for longer transmission distances.
- Wide Compatibility: Support for singlemode and multimode fiber cables (model-dependent). Available with SC, ST, and SFP port configurations. SFP models feature an open SFP port for user-selected transceivers.
- High-Speed Transmission: Available for Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps), Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps/1 Gbps), and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 Gbps) networks.
- Extended Reach: Transmit signals up to 80 km (50 miles) over fiber cables, depending on the model.
- Automatic Crossover Detection: MDI/MDIX crossover detection automatically selects the correct connection, eliminating the need for crossover cables.
- Status Indicators: LEDs provide at-a-glance monitoring of Ethernet connections, transmission speed, power, and fiber link status (LEDs vary by model).
- Durable Design: Rugged metal cases withstand everyday use and offer a wide operating temperature range for various environments.
