Signamax Inc. FO-065-1174 Media Converter 10/100BASE-T to Fx

Product Description

The SIGNAMAX INC. FO-065-1174 is an enterprise-grade media converter that bridges copper Ethernet and fiber optic network segments. It converts 10/100BASE-T twisted-pair copper signals to 100BASE-FX fiber, allowing network administrators and low-voltage installers to extend Ethernet infrastructure beyond the distance limits of copper cabling. The unit is sold individually and fits into enterprise media converter deployments where copper-to-fiber transition is required at the network edge or within a wiring closet.

This converter is suited for commercial and enterprise network environments where legacy or copper-based equipment must connect to fiber backbone infrastructure. Typical installation scenarios include extending network runs in campus buildings, industrial facilities, or data closets where a fiber uplink is required. It handles both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps copper-side speeds, making it compatible with a range of existing network hardware without requiring full infrastructure upgrades.

Key Features

• Converts 10/100BASE-T copper Ethernet to 100BASE-FX fiber optic signal
• Supports both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps copper-side speeds
• Designed for enterprise media converter applications
• Single-unit packaging for flexible, point-to-point deployment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style enterprise media converter for copper-to-fiber network transitions in 10/100BASE-T and 100BASE-FX environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage or network technician. Power down or disconnect the affected network switch port before connecting the converter. Follow applicable codes including TIA-568 structured cabling standards for fiber and copper terminations. Do not force fiber connectors and ensure the fiber cable type matches the converter port specification before installation.
