Description

StarTech MCMGBSCMM055 Multimode Fiber Media Converter

Overview

The StarTech MCMGBSCMM055 is a gigabit Ethernet media converter designed to bridge copper Ethernet networks with multimode fiber optic cabling. This unit is ideal for extending network distances beyond the typical 100-meter limit of copper, enabling connections between buildings or across large facilities. It supports store-and-forward switching, ensuring data integrity with a 9K max jumbo frame support for efficient data transfer. The MCMGBSCMM055 operates within a standard commercial temperature range, making it suitable for controlled indoor environments where network extension is required.

Compatibility

This media converter is compatible with any standard 10/100/1000 Mbps copper Ethernet device and requires a multimode fiber optic cable with SC connectors. It supports IEEE 802.3z, IEEE 802.3ab, IEEE 802.3x, IEEE 802.3u, IEEE 802.1q, and IEEE 802.3 standards, ensuring broad interoperability with network infrastructure components. It is designed to connect to standard network switches and devices that utilize gigabit Ethernet over copper.

Installation Notes

The device requires a standard 100-240V AC input, with the included power adapter providing a 5V DC, 2A output. It operates within a 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F) ambient temperature range and 5-90% non-condensing humidity. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit, as it does not have active cooling. The unit's dimensions are 7 cm (width) x 2.6 cm (height) x 100 cm (length), and it weighs 200g.
