Signamax Media Converter SC Multimode 10/100/1000 Base T/TX to 1000 Base SX 2km

Overview

The Signamax 10/100/1000 to 1000 SX/LX Switching Media Converters provide an intelligent solution for extending long-distance connections between legacy 10BaseT and 100BaseTX networks and 1000Base Gigabit Ethernet networks. This device integrates seamlessly into existing infrastructure, allowing the fiber connection to operate at 1000 Mbps while maintaining compatibility with slower copper standards.

Engineered for mission-critical networking, these converters feature extremely low latency to support high-performance multi-hop networks. The unit is designed for versatile deployment, supporting wall mounting, DIN-rail mounting, or integration into a dedicated media converter rack mount chassis.

Key Features

• Low Latency Design
  Optimized signal processing to minimize delays in multi-hop network environments.
• High Reliability
  Maintains an MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) of over 112 years for continuous operation.
• Jumbo Frame Support
  Supports up to 9K bytes for increased throughput and efficiency in Gigabit Ethernet applications.
• IEEE 802.3x Compliance
  Features flow control for full-duplex and back-pressure for half-duplex configurations.
• DIP Switch Configuration
  Enables field-adjustable settings for link fault signaling, fiber auto/force modes, and SFP speed.
• Flexible Mounting Options
  Compact chassis design supports wall-mount, DIN-rail, or rack-mount installation.
• Wire-Speed Forwarding
  Ensures non-blocking performance at full wire-speed forwarding rates.

Applications

• Extending 10/100 Ethernet over long-distance fiber backbones
• Connecting legacy copper devices to modern Gigabit fiber networks
• Data center high-speed uplinks
• Industrial network expansion requiring DIN-rail mounting
