Vigitron Inc. VI5004 4-port Ethernet Media Converter

Product Description

The VIGITRON INC. VI5004 is a 4-port 10/100 Ethernet media converter designed to bridge copper and fiber network segments in structured cabling environments. It supports Fast Ethernet speeds at 10 and 100 Mbps across four independent ports, allowing network technicians to extend or convert signal media types without replacing core switching infrastructure. This type of device is typically installed by low-voltage technicians, network integrators, or security and AV professionals working on commercial or industrial LAN deployments where media transition is required.

The VI5004 is suited for commercial and light industrial network installations where copper-to-fiber or similar media conversion is needed at the edge or mid-span of a structured network. It fits into rack-mounted or standalone deployment scenarios. Installations typically involve patching into existing Ethernet runs and fiber drops, making it a practical solution for network extension projects, building automation tie-ins, or surveillance system backbones requiring media translation.

Key Features

• 4-port configuration supports multiple simultaneous 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connections
• Media converter function enables copper-to-fiber network bridging without full switch replacement
• Fast Ethernet support at both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps for flexible network compatibility
• Sold as individual unit for targeted deployment in specific network segments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style media converter for use in 10/100 Fast Ethernet network environments requiring copper-to-fiber or similar media transition at the port level.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage or network technicians following applicable local and national cabling standards. Power down or disconnect active network equipment before making port connections to avoid link errors or equipment damage. Verify media type and connector compatibility on both the copper and fiber sides before installation. Follow TIA-568 or applicable structured cabling standards for termination and labeling.
