The ET91000SC2 is a media converter manufactured by StarTech that enables the conversion of data signals between different media types such as copper and fiber optic cables. This media converter is designed to be used with multimode fiber optic cables and offers a cost-effective solution for extending the reach of a network beyond the limits of copper cabling. In this article, we will take a closer look at the features of the ET91000SC2 media converter.
Fiber Media ConvertersFiber media converters are devices that convert data signals between copper and fiber optic cables. They are used to extend the reach of a network beyond the distance limitations of copper cabling. Fiber optic cables can transmit data over long distances without the signal degradation that occurs with copper cabling. However, the cost of deploying fiber optic cabling can be prohibitive, and it may not be practical or cost-effective to replace existing copper cabling with fiber optic cabling. This is where fiber media converters come in, as they enable the conversion of data signals between copper and fiber optic cables, allowing for the extension of the network beyond the distance limitations of copper cabling.
FeaturesThe ET91000SC2 media converter is designed to be used with multimode fiber optic cables. It has a maximum data transfer rate of 1000 Mbps and supports full-duplex communication. The media converter features an RJ45 port for connecting to copper Ethernet cables and an SC fiber optic connector for connecting to multimode fiber optic cables. The media converter is powered by an external AC adapter.
The ET91000SC2 media converter supports auto-negotiation, which means that it can automatically detect the speed and duplex mode of the connected device and adjust its settings accordingly. This feature ensures that the media converter can communicate with a wide range of devices without requiring manual configuration.
The media converter also features a built-in LFP (Link Fault Pass-through) function. The LFP function is designed to detect and report any loss of signal between the media converter and the connected device. This feature helps to diagnose and troubleshoot network connectivity issues quickly.
The ET91000SC2 media converter is designed to be compact and lightweight, making it easy to install in small spaces. It also features a sturdy metal housing, which helps to protect the device from damage.
ApplicationsThe ET91000SC2 media converter is a cost-effective solution for extending the reach of a network beyond the distance limitations of copper cabling. It is suitable for use in a wide range of applications, including:
- Campus Networks: The ET91000SC2 media converter can be used to extend the reach of a campus network beyond the distance limitations of copper cabling. This can be especially useful in large campus environments where fiber optic cabling may be more cost-effective than copper cabling.
- Industrial Networks: The ET91000SC2 media converter is suitable for use in industrial networks, where the distance between devices may be greater than the distance limitations of copper cabling. The media converter can be used to connect devices located in different areas of a factory or plant.
- Security Networks: The ET91000SC2 media converter can be used in security networks to extend the reach of the network beyond the distance limitations of copper cabling. This can be especially useful in large security networks where fiber optic cabling may be more cost-effective than copper cabling.
- Data Centers: The ET91000SC2 media converter can be used in data centers to extend the reach of the network beyond the distance limitations of copper cabling. This can be especially useful in large data centers where fiber optic cabling may be more cost-effective than copper cabling.
