Micropac MPT-H21STS 100Mbit/s Single-mode Black network media converter

10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX (ST) Switching Single-Mode (30Km) Fiber Converter MPT-H21STS is designed to meet the needs for optical fiber network deployment for extending a copper based network via fiber cables. It is a 10/100Mbps Auto-Negotiation Fast Ethernet Switching Media Converter to provide conversion between 10Base-T Ethernet or 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet UTP (Cat.3 or Cat. 5) cables and 100Base-FX single-mode (ST connectors) fiber optic cables.

As defined in IEEE 802.3 & 802.3u standards, 10Base-T & 100BaseTX specify the transmission over category 3 or 5 cables media can transmit signals up to 100 meters. MPT-H21STS specifies the transmission in single-mode fiber media can transmit signals up to 30 kilometers.

MPT-H21STS comes with one RJ45 connector with Auto Cross Over feature to connect to a 10 or 100Base-TX device such as workstation, hub or switch, etc. via Cat.5 copper cables and one ST connector to connect to a 100Base-FX fiber device via 8.3/125, 8.7/125, 9/125 or 10/125um single-mode fiber cables. MPT-H21STS will convert the signals between these two different types of cables.

The MPT-H21STS is a slim and compact unit with strong metal case. It features 6 status LEDs for easy diagnostics and trouble shooting.
