Fibre Optic Media Converters

Signamax Connectivity Systems’ Media Converters reduce cabling cost by providing flexible fibre optic solutions for Ethernet LANs and WAN connectivity.

Models are available for direct connection to RJ-45 and fibre optic ports on both Ethernet and Fast Ethernet devices, or for use with single-mode fibre carrier demarcation points. These offer a wide variety of conversion solutions, providing network expansion at the lowest cost possible.

Each Media Converter is enclosed in a compact, strong metal case and includes an external power supply for stand-alone applications. They can also be installed without modification in the Signamax 065-1180 Rack Mount Chassis featuring redundant power supplies for high reliability and in multiple installations.

The multi-functional design eliminates the need to stock separate units for rack mount and standalone requirements.
