StarTech D01ML55P-FIBER-MEDIA Gigabit Fiber to RJ45 Ethernet Media Converter Dongle, Optical Singlemode 10km/m
Overview
The StarTech D01ML55P-FIBER-MEDIA is a compact, low-power media converter designed to bridge the gap between fiber optic and twisted-pair Ethernet networks. It allows you to extend a 1Gbps Ethernet connection up to 10 kilometers over single-mode fiber (SMF) or 800 meters over multi-mode fiber (MMF). This is critical for surveillance deployments where cameras are located beyond the standard 100-meter Ethernet cable limit, or when integrating with existing fiber backbones. Its small form factor and minimal power draw make it suitable for discreet installations, often powered directly from a PoE switch or a DC power source.
Compatibility
This media converter is compatible with any network device featuring an LC fiber optic port and an RJ45 Ethernet port, supporting 1Gbps data rates. It adheres to IEEE 802.3ab (1000BASE-T) and IEEE 802.3z (1000BASE-SX/LX) standards, ensuring interoperability with standard Gigabit Ethernet switches, network interface cards (NICs), and IP cameras that utilize SFP modules or have integrated fiber ports. It functions as a direct replacement for an SFP module in a compatible transceiver slot or as a standalone converter when paired with an appropriate power source and fiber patch cable. It supports devices requiring up to 25.5W via 802.3af PoE input, drawing only 2.5W itself.
Installation Notes
Operating within a 0°C to 55°C (32°F to 131°F) temperature range and 5-85% non-condensing humidity, this converter is suitable for controlled indoor environments. It requires a DC input voltage between 30-57V DC, which can be supplied by a standard PoE switch or a dedicated power adapter. The unit is IP20 rated, meaning it offers protection against solid objects larger than 12.5mm but no protection against water ingress, thus it must be installed in a dry location. Connection is made via an LC connector for the fiber side and an RJ45 connector for the Ethernet side.
