Fast Ethernet Media Converter 10/100Base-Tx to 100Base-Fx | Single-Mode / Multi-Mode Fiber – Wavetech Kenya

The Fast Ethernet Media Converter (10/100Base-Tx to 100Base-Fx) is a high-performance device that bridges the gap between copper and fiber network segments. It converts standard RJ45 Ethernet signals into optical fiber transmission for distances up to 20km, depending on the fiber type (single-mode or multi-mode).Engineered for LAN extension, CCTV/IP camera backhaul, and FTTx deployment, this converter provides stable data transmission, plug-and-play simplicity, and long-term reliability — making it a top choice for ISPs, IT professionals, and installers across Kenya.Stable and Efficient Fiber ConversionThis media converter is compliant with IEEE 802.3 and 802.3u standards, supporting 10/100Mbps auto-negotiation for both copper and fiber interfaces. It enables the seamless extension of Ethernet networks over long distances using single-mode or multi-mode fiber.Key Features:Converts 10/100Base-Tx (RJ45) to 100Base-Fx (SC/FC/ST)Supports transmission up to 20km (single-mode) or 2km (multi-mode)Auto MDI/MDIX function – no crossover cable requiredFull and half-duplex auto-sensingLearn how to connect your device properly using FS.com Media Converter Setup Guide.Plug-and-Play InstallationDesigned for simplicity, the converter requires no configuration or software installation. Just connect your Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port and your fiber patch cord to the optical port — the converter automatically detects and adjusts speed, duplex mode, and signal type.Installation Steps:Connect the RJ45 Ethernet cable from your switch or NVR.Connect the fiber SC/FC/ST connector to your network link.Power on the unit using the DC adapter.Verify operation through the LED indicators (PWR, TX, FX, LINK/ACT).This fast and intuitive setup makes it ideal for FTTx installations, surveillance systems, and enterprise network extensions.Durable and Energy EfficientThe metal enclosure offers excellent heat dissipation and electromagnetic protection, ensuring consistent performance even in industrial environments. Low power consumption (typically <3W) means it can run 24/7 without overheating or requiring external cooling.Its compact design allows easy rack or desktop mounting, making it suitable for both office and outdoor cabinet use.ApplicationsLong-distance LAN and WAN extensionFTTx / FTTH and ISP backbone connectionsCCTV and IP surveillance systemsCampus and enterprise networkingIndustrial and utility fiber networksFor professional deployment accessories like patch cords, SFP modules, and splitters, visit Wavetech Kenya.Key Features & Benefits10/100Base-Tx to 100Base-Fx conversionSC single-mode or multi-mode fiber interfaceTransmission up to 20km (SM) / 2km (MM)Auto MDI/MDIX and full/half duplexMetal housing for durabilityLED indicators for power, link, and data statusPlug-and-play setupFor installation standards, refer to IEEE 802.3u Fast Ethernet Standard.Technical SpecificationsParameterSpecificationEthernet Port1x RJ45 (10/100Mbps)Fiber Port1x SC/FC/ST (100Mbps)Fiber TypeSingle-Mode / Multi-ModeTransmission DistanceUp to 20km (SM) / 2km (MM)Duplex ModeFull / Half (auto-sensing)Power Supply5V–12V DCStandardsIEEE 802.3, 802.3uOperating Temp0°C–50°CInternal Links (Wavetech Recommendations)Gigabit Single-Mode Media ConverterSingle-Mode Fiber Patch CordADSS Fiber CableNetwork Switches & RoutersCCTV Networking AccessoriesExternal ReferencesFS.com – How to Use Media ConvertersIEEE 802.3u Fast Ethernet StandardOptical Fiber Connector Guide – TechTarget
