Description

StarTech D01ML55U-FIBER-MEDIA Gigabit Fiber to RJ45 Ethernet Media Converter

Overview

The StarTech D01ML55U-FIBER-MEDIA is a compact media converter designed to bridge the gap between fiber optic cabling and standard Ethernet networks. This device is crucial for extending network reach beyond the 100-meter limitation of copper Ethernet, making it ideal for connecting remote surveillance cameras or network segments in large facilities. It supports both 1000 Mbps data rates, ensuring high-bandwidth performance for video streams and data transfer. The unit draws a maximum of 2.5W, minimizing power overhead.

Compatibility

This media converter is designed to interface with standard IEEE 802.3ab (Gigabit Ethernet) and IEEE 802.3z (Fiber Gigabit Ethernet) compliant devices. It features one 1000BASE-LX/LH LC fiber optic port compatible with both singlemode and multimode fiber, operating at a 1310nm wavelength. The converter also includes one 1000BASE-T RJ45 Ethernet port for connection to switches, routers, or network devices. A USB Type-A port is present for power input, allowing it to be powered from a USB power source or adapter.

Installation Notes

The operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F), with a humidity range of 5% to 85% RH (non-condensing). The IP20 rating indicates it is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5mm but offers no protection against water ingress, meaning it must be installed in a controlled environment. The physical dimensions are 3.2 inches in width, 0.7 inches in height, and 0.8 inches in length, with a weight of 1.7 oz, facilitating easy integration into tight spaces.
