-
Converts to 100/1000Base-SX/LX fiber, enabling long-distance transmission (up to 120km with single-mode fiber)—far beyond the 100m limit of copper cables.
✅ Versatile Fiber Compatibility
-
Works with multi-mode (MMF), single-mode dual-fiber (SMF duplex), and single-fiber (BiDi) connections, offering deployment flexibility.
-
Dual-speed fiber port (100M/1000M) ensures backward compatibility with legacy and modern fiber-optic equipment.
✅ Ultra-Compact & Plug-and-Play
-
Space-saving micro design simplifies installation in rack cabinets, industrial control panels, or embedded systems.
-
Low-power, fanless operation ensures silent and reliable 24/7 performance for enterprise, ISP, and industrial networks.
Applications
- Extends LAN/WAN networks across buildings or campuses via fiber uplinks.
- Ideal for surveillance (IP cameras), smart city infrastructure, and factory automation requiring noise-resistant fiber transmission.
- Cost-effective solution for FTTx (Fiber-to-the-x) deployments and network modernization.
