Struggling with mismatched fibre and copper networks can slow your whole office. The Planet FT802S15 100 Mbit/s 1310 nm 100Base-TX 100Base-FX Media Converter bridges that gap, turning 100Base-FX fibre into 100Base-TX Ethernet so you can extend fast-ethernet links without replacing existing cabling. It automatically matches the best duplex mode, giving you reliable, high-speed connectivity exactly when you need it.
Usages of a 100 Mbit/s Media Converter
Ideal for connecting remote workstations, small switches or legacy hubs to a modern fibre backbone, this converter lets you run Ethernet over distances up to 15 km, perfect for campus buildings, data-centre inter-connects or extending networks across a factory floor.
Benefits of Planet Media Converter
- Seamless duplex handling: automatically switches between half and full duplex for optimal performance.
- Link-loss alerts: built-in LLR and LLCF warn you instantly of any cable problems.
- Wide fibre support: works with SC, ST, MT-RJ, VF-45 or WDM connectors for flexible installations.
- Robust metal housing: durable construction protects the device in busy environments.
- Easy power: 5 V / 2 A external adapter works from 100-240 V worldwide.
Planet Media Converter Overview
Choosing this converter means you avoid costly rewiring while still gaining the speed and reliability of fibre. Its auto-negotiation and auto MDI/MDI-X mean plug-and-play setup, so you spend less time configuring and more time keeping your network running smoothly.
The device also supports both half- and full-duplex modes, giving you the flexibility to connect to switches, workstations or hubs without manual adjustments. With LED indicators you can instantly see link status, making troubleshooting quick and painless.
