Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is unidirectional RX operation and when is it used?
A: Unidirectional RX means this media converter only receives data from the fiber network to the copper network, providing enhanced security for monitoring applications and data diode implementations where one-way data flow is required.
Q: What SFP transceivers are compatible with this converter?
A: This converter supports standard 1000Base SFP transceivers including SX (multimode), LX (single mode), and ZX (long range), enabling flexible distance capabilities from 550m to 80km depending on the chosen transceiver.
Q: How does industrial-grade construction benefit harsh environments?
A: The industrial networking design provides extended operating temperature range (-40°C to +75°C), enhanced EMI/EMC protection, and rugged construction for reliable operation in manufacturing, outdoor, and utility environments.
Q: Can this converter integrate with existing network infrastructure?
A: Yes, with standard 10/100/1000BaseTX copper connectivity and fiber ethernet switches compatibility, this converter seamlessly integrates with existing network equipment while providing the benefits of fiber optic transmission for extended reach and electrical isolation.
