StarTech 1.25Gbps Gigabit Ethernet Fiber Media Converter with Open SFP Slot

Enhance your network connectivity with the ET91000SFP2 Open SFP Fiber Media Converter, a versatile solution designed to convert and extend a Gigabit Ethernet connection over fiber using the Gigabit SFP of your preference. This device is ideal for bridging an Ethernet (1000Base-T) network to remote network segments via a fiber backbone, offering an open SFP slot for flexibility in choosing an MSA-Compliant Gigabit SFP that aligns with your specific fiber connection mode (single/multi-mode) and distance requirements.

This Gigabit Ethernet Fiber Media Converter is equipped with advanced features such as Link-loss forwarding, remote monitor status, and support for two frame lengths. It also offers the convenience of full or half-duplex operation, ensuring efficient network operation. With its Jumbo Frame support, this device is designed to handle larger packets of data, improving network performance and reducing server load.

The ET91000SFP2 Open SFP Fiber Media Converter boasts a robust all-steel chassis and offers straightforward plug-and-play installation. It's designed for standalone operation or can be installed into the 20 Slot, 2U Rackmount Chassis (ETCHS2U) for added versatility. If your application requires multiple chassis-mounted media converters, this Gigabit media converter can also be purchased as a Card Module only (ET91000SFP2C).

This device is an ideal solution for extending or bridging networks using fiber cabling, providing connectivity to isolated user or network segments in large complexes or separate buildings. It's perfect for secure connections required by government agencies where EMI is not acceptable, connecting traffic control/monitoring systems at extreme distances to the main office, or extending network connectivity to remote areas of stadiums, auditoriums, or other venues.

With the open SFP slot, you have the freedom to install the SFP of your choice, ensuring maximum uptime with link-loss forwarding and remote status monitoring. Please note that fiber data transfer speeds and distances are dependent on the SFP used (sold separately).
