Micro Mini Media Converters are ideal for mobile
applications where light weight, compact size, and low power
requirements are critical.
Weighing less than 2.5 ounces and about the length of
a house key, these ultra-compact media converters are
portable yet powerful. They can be USB-powered, making
it easy to provide fiber connectivity to locations where AC
or DC power is unavailable, such as field-deployed fiber-to-
the-laptop. They conveniently slip into a pocket or laptop
carrying case for easy portability.
Micro Mini Media Converters are plug-and-play with
an RJ-45 port that autonegotiates for speed, duplex
mode, and crossover functions for laptops with 10BASE-T,
100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T Ethernet. Available with
100BASE-FX or 1000BASE-X fixed fiber transceivers, they
support multimode and single-mode options, as well as
SFPs. SFP transceivers make it easy to adapt to different
fiber types, speeds, and distances.
Connect the media converter to a laptop using two cables.
The USB power cable draws current from the laptop’s USB
1.0 or 2.0 port. The UTP cable connects the laptop to the
copper port on the converter. The converter then provides
10/100/1000BASE-T UTP to 100BASE-FX or 1000BASE-X
fiber conversion, which can extend the fiber link up to
60 kilometers via SFP.
When plugged into a computer’s USB port, the media
converter shuts down automatically when you turn off
the computer, which saves energy.
Micro Mini Media Converters are excellent solutions for
fiber-to-the-laptop applications where you need Gigabit
fiber connectivity but local power isn’t available.
