Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What advantages does 1310nm wavelength provide for long-distance transmission?
A: The 1310nm wavelength is specifically optimized for single-mode fiber applications, providing minimal signal attenuation and maximum transmission distance. This 100Base-LX converter leverages this wavelength to achieve reliable 100 Mbps connectivity over the full 40km range.
Q: Can this converter bridge legacy ethernet with modern fiber infrastructure?
A: Yes, this long distance media converter seamlessly connects 10/100Base-TX ethernet equipment to single-mode fiber networks, enabling legacy system integration with modern fiber optic infrastructure while extending connectivity up to 40 kilometers.
Q: What applications require 40km transmission capability?
A: This 40km media converter is ideal for metropolitan area networks, campus-to-campus connections, telecommunications backhaul, industrial site connectivity, and any application requiring reliable ethernet-to-fiber conversion over extended distances using SC connector infrastructure.
Q: How does single-mode fiber differ from multi-mode for long-distance applications?
A: Single-mode fiber with this 1310nm converter provides significantly greater transmission distance (40km vs. 2km for multi-mode) due to reduced modal dispersion. The SMF design enables long-haul connectivity while maintaining signal integrity across the entire transmission span.
Long distance media converter 100Base-LX with SMF support. 1310nm wavelength SC connector conversion for 40km ethernet-to-fiber transmission.
