Comnet CNFE1004MAC1B-M 100 Mbps Media Converter

Product Description

The COMNET CNFE1004MAC1B-M is a compact 100 Mbps media converter designed for enterprise networking applications. Media converters of this type bridge two different physical media types — most commonly copper twisted-pair and fiber optic cable — allowing network segments to communicate over longer distances than copper alone permits. The small form factor makes it suitable for installations where rack space or enclosure space is limited. Licensed network technicians and low-voltage installers are the typical trades that specify and deploy this class of device.

This converter is classified as an enterprise media converter, indicating it is intended for commercial and industrial network infrastructure rather than residential use. Typical install scenarios include connecting a fiber backbone run to a copper-terminated device, extending a network segment beyond the 328-foot limit of standard Ethernet, or integrating fiber drops into an existing copper switching infrastructure. The compact housing suits both standalone deployment and potential use within compatible media converter chassis systems.

Key Features

• 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet conversion between network media types
• Small form factor suitable for space-constrained installations
• Enterprise-grade classification for commercial and industrial network environments
• Sold as a single unit for straightforward procurement and replacement

Compatibility

Designed as an enterprise media converter for Fast Ethernet network infrastructure. No specific compatible models or replacement part numbers were provided in the available product data.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or network infrastructure professional. Power down the relevant network segment and follow site lockout procedures before disconnecting any active equipment. Fiber connections require proper cleaning and inspection of ferrules before mating. Work should comply with applicable TIA and NEC low-voltage cabling standards for the installation environment.
