Introducing the Signamax 10/100/1000 to 1000 SX/LX Switching Media Converters, engineered for superior long-distance connections between traditional 10BaseT, 100BaseTX networks, and modern 1000Base Gigabit Ethernet networks. These converters feature an integrated switch that allows fiber cable connections to operate at 1000 Mbps, offering compatibility with 10BaseT, 100BaseTX, or 1000BaseT networks, while adhering to 1000BaseSX or 1000BaseLX standards for fiber optic connections. The fiber connection also supports full duplex mode regardless of the RJ-45 port's connection to a full duplex switch or a half duplex legacy hub.
Enhancements in this series include remarkably low latency, customizable settings for the RJ-45 port to operate in 100Base or 10Base full or half-duplex modes, auto-negotiation for the 1000Base fiber port, and the option for forced full-duplex mode. Additionally, these converters offer the flexibility to enable or disable the Link Fault Signaling feature.
Features:
- Ultra-low latency suitable for extensive multi-hop networks.
- Exceptional reliability with an MTBF exceeding 112 years.
- Gigabit transmission capability with support for 9K bytes jumbo frames.
- IEEE 802.3x flow control compatibility for both full and half duplex.
- DIP switch configurations for link fault signaling, fiber auto/force mode, and SFP speed.
- Ensures full wire-speed forwarding rate.
- Versatile mounting options including wall, DIN-rail, and media converter rack mount chassis.
