Micro Gigabit Media Converter USB-Powered 10/100/1000Base-T to Fiber

Product Overview

• The LNK-M3011 Series Micro Gigabit Media Converter is a compact yet powerful Ethernet-to-fiber converter designed for seamless copper-to-fiber network integration. Leveraging advanced switching technology, it ensures reliable media conversion while complying with IEEE 802.3, 802.3u (Fast Ethernet), 802.3z (Gigabit Fiber), and 802.3ab (Gigabit Copper) standards.

Key Features & Benefits

✅ Multi-Speed Auto-Sensing

• Supports 10/100/1000Mbps auto-negotiation on the RJ45 port (10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T) for flexible network upgrades.

• 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.

Product Features

1. Intelligent Auto-Sensing Connectivity

• 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 Port: Features auto MDI/MDI-X crossover, eliminating manual configuration for hassle-free plug-and-play deployment.

3. Advanced Transmission Capabilities

• Full/Half-Duplex Auto-Negotiation: Optimizes bandwidth efficiency for VoIP, video streaming, and industrial IoT applications.

• Jumbo Frame Support (9K MTU): Enhances data throughput for large-file transfers in enterprise and data center environments.

4. Flexible Fiber Optic Options

• Multi-Mode (MMF) & Single-Mode (SMF) Compatibility:

• Single-Mode Dual Fiber (SM Duplex): Long-range up to 120km for backbone networks.
• Multi-Mode Dual Fiber (MMF): Cost-effective short-range (2km) solutions.
• Single-Fiber BiDi (SM Simplex): Halves fiber usage with bidirectional transmission.

5. Industrial-Grade Reliability

• Wide-Temperature Operation: Stable performance in -40°C to 75°C environments for outdoor/industrial use.

• Fanless, Low-Power Design: Silent operation with <3W power consumption for 24/7 mission-critical networks.
