Comnet CNFE1002SAC1A-M Concise Descriptor

Overview

The Comnet CNFE1002SAC1A-M is a small-form 100Mbps media converter that bridges single-mode fiber to Ethernet copper — a workhorse device for extending network runs beyond twisted-pair distance limits or across high-noise industrial floors without signal loss. ST connector, AC/DC dual-input power, and compact footprint (9.8" × 4.5" × 2.6" packaged) make it a straightforward fit into existing network racks or wall-mount enclosures. Deploy this when you need to convert fiber backbone to copper on-site without introducing a full chassis or managed switch.

Compatibility

Works with any Ethernet infrastructure that accepts RJ-45 input — surveillance NVRs, managed/unmanaged switches, PoE injectors, and network cameras requiring copper uplink. Single-mode (SM) fiber compatibility means it integrates with carrier-grade telecom runs and campus backbone fiber already in place. Supports standard 100BASE-FX (fiber) to 100BASE-TX (copper) conversion. No VLAN offload, no managed features — pure media conversion at the physical layer.

Installation Notes

Accepts AC (input voltage not specified in evidence) or DC power, eliminating single-supply dependencies on field sites. ST connector is industry-standard for single-mode fiber; verify your fiber run termination before ordering. No active cooling or complex configuration; mount horizontally on a shelf or DIN rail. Confirm fiber cleanliness at both ends to avoid insertion-loss penalties on the conversion path.
