Barox LO-9500-M - 100 Mbit/s - 100Base-TX - 100Base-FX - IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u, IEEE 802.3x - Ethernet rápido - 10/100 Mbit/s

Where many converters force a choice between copper and fibre, the BAROX LO-9500-M bridges both worlds in a compact, no-fuss unit. It converts 10/100Base-TX copper to 100Base-FX fibre, extending your network far beyond the 100-metre copper limit while keeping full-duplex throughput at 100 Mbit/s. Auto-negotiation on the copper port means you can plug in any 10 or 100 Mbit/s device and the converter adjusts automatically. The fibre port runs at 100 Mbit/s full duplex, ideal for long-distance backbone links or connecting remote buildings. An unmanaged design means zero configuration: just connect the cables, power it with the included AC adapter, and the LEDs confirm link and activity at a glance.

Highlights

• Converts 10/100Base-TX copper to 100Base-FX fibre, extending network reach up to 2 km (multimode) or 20 km (single-mode, depending on fibre transceiver).
• Supports IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3x flow control for reliable, loss-free data transfer.
• Auto-negotiation on the copper port; full and half duplex support on both ports.
• Unmanaged plug-and-play operation – no software or configuration needed.
• External AC adapter included; compact metal housing for desktop or wall mounting.
• LED indicators for power, link/activity on copper and fibre ports.

In daily use

Place the LO-9500-M wherever your copper segment ends and fibre begins. Connect a switch, PC, or IP camera to the RJ45 port with a standard Cat5e cable. On the fibre side, use a multimode or single-mode patch cable with the appropriate connector (SC or ST, depending on your transceiver). The converter immediately passes traffic between the two media, with flow control preventing packet loss during bursts. The external power adapter plugs into a nearby outlet, and the unit can sit on a desk, shelf, or be mounted on a wall using the built-in slots. Its metal case dissipates heat efficiently, ensuring stable operation in wiring closets or industrial environments.
