4 GE to Fiber Optic Media Converter with 1+1 redundancy fiber protection

Description

Overview:

The 4 GE Fiber Optic Media Converter is a professional-grade, high-availability Ethernet switch designed to bridge copper and fiber networks with unmatched resilience. It provides four 10/100/1000M auto-negotiating Gigabit Ethernet ports and dual Gigabit fiber optic interfaces, integrating a critical 1+1 redundancy fiber protection mechanism. 4-Port Gigabit Fiber Converter feature ensures zero-interruption data transmission by instantly switching to a backup fiber link if the primary one fails, making it an ideal solution for mission-critical infrastructure in industrial automation, intelligent transportation, and enterprise backbone networks.

Engineered for flexible deployment, this media converter excels in chain (daisy-chain) network topologies, allowing multiple units to be cascaded via fiber to extend network reach seamlessly over long distances without compromising performance. It supports advanced management features including VLAN (IEEE 802.1Q), Q-in-Q, and jumbo frames, providing robust broadcast storm protection and efficient network segmentation. Housed in a compact, fanless 4U rack-mountable design, it operates reliably in wide temperature ranges, offering a future-proof, scalable, and industrial-hardened connectivity solution for demanding environments.

4-Port Gigabit Fiber Converter Features:

High-Availability Fiber Uplink: Features two SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) fiber slots supporting 1000BASE-SX/LX/ZX standards. The built-in automatic fiber protection switching guarantees sub-50ms failover, maintaining continuous network uptime.

Flexible Ethernet Access: Four 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit RJ45 ports with auto-MDI/MDIX, automatically negotiating speed and duplex mode for plug-and-play connectivity to IP cameras, wireless APs, PLCs, and network switches.

Robust Industrial Design: Operates stably in temperatures from -10°C to 50°C with a wide voltage input (AC 180V~260V / DC 24V/48V), ensuring reliability in control rooms, roadside cabinets, and factory floors.

Advanced Switching & Management: Functions as a managed Ethernet switch supporting VLAN, Q-in-Q, port trunking, and CLI/Console management. Its anti-deadlock monitoring with auto-reset and broadcast storm suppression isolates faults and enhances network stability.

Simplified Cascaded Networking: Enables efficient daisy-chain or linear topology deployments over fiber, reducing cabling complexity and costs for extended networks like highway communication systems or security surveillance networks.
