SIGNAL OM-14 convertidor de medios de fibra óptica Gigabit multimodo SC 850nm 550m

The SIGNAL OM-14 is a standalone Gigabit Ethernet media converter that bridges 1000Base-SX multimode fibre and 10/100/1000Base-T copper networks, extending links up to 550 metres over 50/125µm fibre. Its metal housing and broad operating temperature range make it a reliable choice for enterprise and industrial environments where stable, high-speed connectivity is essential.

Advantages

By converting between fibre and copper, the OM-14 eliminates distance limitations of traditional Ethernet cabling while preserving full Gigabit throughput. Auto MDI/MDI-X removes the need for crossover cables, and support for jumbo frames up to 9 KB ensures efficient handling of large data packets. The converter operates silently without fans, reducing maintenance and power consumption.

Suitable for

• Connecting remote network segments in office buildings or campuses
• Extending LANs beyond 100 metres using multimode fibre infrastructure
• Integrating legacy copper devices into fibre backbone networks
• Industrial floor installations requiring robust metal enclosures
