Features

Extended Reach: From 100m Copper to 120km Fiber

The FMC-100-GE-SFP addresses the fundamental limitation of copper Ethernet—the 100-meter distance constraint—by converting 10/100/1000Base-T signals to fiber optic transmission. Depending on the SFP module selected, this media converter enables: Multi-mode fiber (SX): Up to 550 meters at 850nm, Single-mode fiber (LX): Up to 10 kilometers at 1310nm, Extended reach (EX/ZX/EZX): Up to 120 kilometers at 1550nm, This capability allows businesses to connect geographically dispersed facilities, campus buildings, remote surveillance sites, and metropolitan area networks without signal degradation, electromagnetic interference, or increased latency—maintaining full Gigabit throughput end-to-end.

Universal SFP Compatibility for Maximum Flexibility

Unlike proprietary media converters that lock you into specific vendors, the FMC-100-GE-SFP is designed for universal SFP compatibility per SFP MSA (INF-8074i) standards. It accepts standard SFP modules from Cisco, Juniper, Huawei, Finisar, TP-Link, and other major manufacturers.

True Plug-and-Play Deployment

The FMC-100-GE-SFP is engineered for zero-touch installation: Auto-negotiation: Automatically detects and configures speed (10/100/1000Mbps) and duplex mode, Auto-MDI/MDIX: Eliminates crossover cables—use standard straight-through cables, No software configuration: No IP addresses, no VLAN settings, no management overhead

This plug-and-play simplicity delivers tangible operational benefits: Deploy in minutes: Ideal for emergency installations and remote sites without IT staff, Reduce training costs: Any technician can install without specialized training, Minimize errors: No misconfiguration risks associated with managed devices, Scale efficiently: Large rollouts become practical and cost-effective

6KV Lightning Protection for Industrial Reliability

The FMC-100-GE-SFP features built-in surge protection rated at 6KV on both power and Ethernet ports, complying with IEC 61000-4-5 surge immunity standards. This protection is critical for: Outdoor installations: CCTV cameras, perimeter security, cell towers, Industrial environments: Factories, power plants, oil and gas facilities, Utility infrastructure: Smart grid monitoring, traffic control systems, Rural deployments: Long-distance runs susceptible to electrical interference

Full Wire-Speed Performance with Zero Packet Loss

The FMC-100-GE-SFP operates as a layer 1 media converter, providing bit-transparent transmission with: Line-rate forwarding: 1Gbps in full-duplex mode, IEEE 802.3x flow control: Prevents packet loss during congestion, Low latency: < 1.6 microseconds per conversion, Jitter tolerance: Maintains signal integrity for time-sensitive applications
