Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the Media converter board with DFP socket

The device transmits 10/100 Mbps Ethernet data over optical fiber, featuring a 10/100 BASE-T/TX electrical port and a 100 BASE-FX optical port. It supports auto-negotiation for 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps full or half-duplex data on the electrical port, while the optical port provides dedicated 100 Mbps full-duplex data to ensure reliable network communication.

By overcoming the standard 100-meter limitation of copper-based wiring, the converter can extend secure network connections up to 120 kilometers when paired with optional Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) modules. This allows organizations to maintain complete, uninterrupted visibility across expansive perimeters and large-scale infrastructure.

The media converter is completely transparent to data encoding and compatible with major data protocols. This frictionless integration ensures that your real-time security data stream seamlessly to your video management system without requiring complex configuration or specialized network adjustments.

Yes, transmitting Ethernet data over optical fiber provides a secure, EMI/RFI-free transmission path. This prevents electromagnetic and radio frequency interference from degrading the signal, ensuring that high-quality data reaches your security operations center without disruption.
