COMMANDO Media Converters comes with real time LED indicators for PWR, Copper Link/ACT, Fiber FX/TX and 1000M/100M. It features LFP (Link Fault Pass-through) function for easily tracing the network link failure. LFP function can enhance the integrity and conformity of the fiber linking to improve the maintainability of the network. It has diagnostic LED's for understanding status like speed, duplex, network traffic with easy-to-understand diagnostic LEDs for continuous status reports on network speed, duplex media access control connection and network traffic. It has no software to configure, which saves time and minimizes the potential for configuration errors. It extends the reach of traditional UTP based LAN from 100m to distance of 25km using Fiber optics media. Making network compatible with copper and fiber convert a fiber connection from a distant wiring closet to a copper connection, and vice versa.

Fiber is used to carry data to greater distance, copper for cost-effectiveness. Ideal for long Distance transmission in Broadband Campus Network, Cable TV, Intelligent Broadband FTTX Networks. It Interoperable with most of Modems, Hub, Switches, Routers, Servers and Network devices with Auto Negotiation and Auto-MDI-X with Ease of installation.

Features and Benefits

Interoperable with Networking Hardware

Almost all mainstream brand routers, switches, servers, and network equipment are compatible with COMMANDO Media Converters. It extends the reach of traditional UTP based LAN from 100Meters to distance of 25km using Fiber optics media.

 

Flexible Media Conversion

It converts signals that are transmitted from copper type of media to fiber and converts 10/100/1000 Mbps copper Ethernet to a 100/1000 Mbps fiber optic connection. This allows you to expand, enhance reachability to 25km distance with high-speed fiber optic cables between connected devices that are otherwise connected with short distance Ethernet cables, such as Cat 5 twisted pair cables.

 

Cost Effectiveness.

Gives small businesses the flexibility of fiber or copper media links for their gigabit backbones or networks with inbuild SFP and RJ-45 ports & fiber for greater distance, copper for local LAN.

 

Easy to Use

Auto-negotiation and auto MDIX on each port senses the link speed of a network device (10/100/1000 Mbps) and intelligently adjusts for compatibility and optimal performance. Supports full-duplex flow control (IEEE 802.3x). Its compact size makes it ideal for desktops with limited space. LED indicators provide an easy way to monitor network activity.
