Struggling with unreliable network links over long distances? The Planet FT-802 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet Media Converter bridges copper Ethernet to fibre, letting you extend your LAN quickly and securely without costly rewiring. It converts 10/100BASE-TX to 100BASE-FX, giving you a stable connection wherever you need it.
Key Features of a 100 Mbit/s Media Converter
- Data Transfer Rate: 100Mbps. Provides full Fast Ethernet speed for everyday business traffic.
- Optical Wavelength: 1310 nm. Works with standard single-mode fibre for low-loss transmission.
- Maximum Transfer Distance: 1.2 miles. Lets you link sites that are far apart without signal degradation.
- Ethernet Interface: 1 × 10Base-T/100Base-TX RJ-45. Connects directly to existing copper ports.
- Fibre Connector: SC. Fits common multimode fibre patch cords for easy installation.
- Link Fault Pass-through (LFP): DIP-switch selectable. Alerts you instantly when a link fails.
- Auto-negotiation: Half-/full-duplex support. Adjusts automatically to the best mode for your device.
- Power Input: 5 V / 2 A. Simple low-voltage supply for reliable operation.
- Operating Temperature: 32 °F - 122 °F. Handles typical office and industrial environments.
- Housing Material: Metal. Durable case protects the converter in demanding settings.
