Signamax MI10020 I-1100 Gigabit SFP Industrial Media Converter

Overview

The Signamax MI10020 I-1100 is a hardened Gigabit SFP industrial media converter designed to bridge the gap between copper Ethernet and fiber optic networks in demanding environments. This device is critical for extending network reach beyond the typical 100-meter limit of copper cabling, enabling reliable data transmission over longer distances using fiber optics. Its industrial-grade construction makes it suitable for deployment in factory floors, transportation hubs, and utility infrastructure where standard networking equipment would fail.

Compatibility

This media converter is designed to interface with standard Gigabit Ethernet switches and devices. It supports any MSA-compliant Gigabit SFP transceiver (sold separately) for fiber optic connections, allowing flexibility in choosing single-mode or multi-mode fiber, and specific wavelength requirements. The two 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports are compatible with standard Ethernet network interface cards and switches.

Installation Notes

The MI10020 operates within an extended temperature range of -40°C to 75°C (-40°F to 167°F), making it suitable for extreme climate conditions. It requires a 12V to 48V DC power input (power supply sold separately) and features a DIN-rail mounting bracket for easy installation in industrial control cabinets. Ensure proper ventilation and secure power connections for reliable operation.
