Netwerk-mediaconverter ALLNET 134409

The ALLNET 134409 Network Media Converter enables conversion between multi-mode and single-mode fiber links and supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s. Designed for Gigabit Ethernet networks, it features two SFP fiber ports and is compatible with IEEE 802.3z 1000Base-SX and 1000Base-LX standards. The compact black unit is powered by 5 V with a maximum power consumption of 3 W and supports a maximum optical link distance of up to 550 m when used with appropriate transceivers and cabling.

Advantages

The converter provides transparent packet forwarding and supports both full-duplex and half-duplex transmission modes, allowing straightforward integration into existing fiber infrastructures. Its SFP-based design enables flexible use of 850 nm multimode and 1310/1550 nm single-mode transceivers for long or short reach links. The device is CE certified and lightweight, making it suitable for rack or desktop deployment where space is limited.

Suitable for

• Connecting Gigabit Ethernet equipment over mixed multimode and single-mode fiber
• Extending network links up to 550 m with appropriate SFP modules
• Media conversion between 1000Base-SX and 1000Base-LX fiber segments

• Maximum transfer distance: 550 m (dependent on SFP and cabling)
• Power: 5 V, max. 3 W
• Ethernet interface: Gigabit Ethernet
• Colour: Black
• Weight: 0.28 kg

How to use

Install compatible SFP transceivers into the converter’s SFP slots according to the desired multimode (850 nm) or single-mode (1310/1550 nm) application. Connect fiber cables with matching transceiver types and polish/connector standards. Power the unit with a 5 V supply and verify link LEDs or management indicators on connected equipment to confirm successful link establishment. Ensure duplex mode settings on connected switches or devices match the network design.

Recommendations

Use appropriate SFP modules and fiber patch cords for the required link distance and bit rate. Verify compatibility of transceivers with connected equipment and follow standard fiber handling practices to avoid signal degradation. For distances approaching the maximum, choose single-mode transceivers and quality cabling.
