This Gigabit Ethernet to fiber media converter is a cost-effective way to extend your network, or extend the distance between two devices by up to 20 km (12.4 mi.).
Fiber network connections provide greater distance and security, with less electromagnetic interference (EMI) than typical RJ45 copper-based networks, making it perfect for IT professionals and secure setups in government, business, or educational applications.
Flexible integration into mixed network environments
This versatile copper-to-fiber converter supports standalone operation, or alternatively it can be installed into the StarTech.com Rackmount Chassis (ETCHS2U - sold separately), giving you more options for integration into your existing network. The card module can also be inserted back into the ET91000SM20 enclosure, plus it’s compatible with enclosures from other StarTech.com ET91000 series media converters (sold separately).
The converter features a pre-installed Gigabit SFP transceiver with LC connectors. Should your network infrastructure change in the future, you can easily swap and replace the module to adapt the media converter to your new network requirements.
With flexible integration and connectivity up to 20 km away, you can provide network access to remote areas in other buildings, or in areas where Wi-Fi® is unreliable or unavailable.
Rugged and reliable
This heavy-duty fiber media converter is designed for maximum reliability. It features a metal (steel) enclosure, so it can withstand the demands of harsh environments such as factories or warehouses.
Plus, by relying on this more durable fiber media converter, you can reduce the strain on your existing copper-based network equipment and potentially extend the life of those devices, which helps save future expenses.
Diagnose and correct issues easily
This high-performance media converter supports a range of network setup and diagnostic protocols (for example, Link Fault Passthrough, Auto Laser Shutdown (ALS), and Auto MDIX, so you can set up and troubleshoot your network easily.
Prepare your network for the future
If your existing network consists of RJ45 copper-based devices and cables, you might not be ready for future network expansion. Because the newest fiber-based network switches feature SFP ports more often than RJ45 ports, you might need a converter to bridge your copper and fiber networks together.
The ET91000SM20 is backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty, and free lifetime technical support.

D-Link’s Gigabit Industrial Unmanaged Media Converter turns an Ethernet connection into fiber, allowing for ultra-fast long distance connections. The DIS-M100G-SW media converter is housed in a highly resistant IP30-rated metal casing to protect the media converter from harsh environmental conditions. Meanwhile, the fanless design extends the life of the DIS-M100G-SW while also being able to operate in a wide temperature range from -40°C up to 70 °C. For increased flexibility, the DIS-M100G-SW can also be mounted on a DIN rail or conveniently mounted on a solid surface wall. In addition, the DIS-M100G-SW supports dual power input which allows for a redundant power supply configuration to make sure the media converter continues to operate in the event of a primary power supply failure. Extend Your Network Fiber-optic speeds are critical to success, but twisted-pair cabling can only go so far. Using D-Link’s converters you can change a twisted-pair Ethernet connection into a single-mode or multi-mode fiber connection that can go much further. Converters for distances of anywhere from 550 m to 80 km allow you to optimize your selection. No Wasted Space Its compact size fits anywhere and doesn’t require an entire rack. Measuring just 70 mm wide by 95 mm long by 26.1 mm in depth, with the total volume of one unit just 0.174 liters. This allows for convenient installation wherever it is needed, especially in limited space environments such as telecommunication cabinets or a distribution box. Plug and Play The media converters offered by D-Link include several industry-standard technologies that make them easy to operate, like 802.3u/x/ab. Auto-MDI/MDIX and Auto-Negotiation makes sure that your cable connection functions at the highest possible speed while remaining compatible. There’s no management software to configure – just simply connect the converter. |
D-Link Gigabit Interface Converters (GBIC) are transceivers that connect Gigabit switches and 10/100Mbps switches with GBIC slots to Gigabit Ethernet networks, providing high-speed connections over the fiber-optic or twisted-pair cable. The fiber-optic transceivers have standard duplex LC connectors for connection compatibility. Small Form Pluggable (SFP) Package These transceivers use the industry-standard Small Form Pluggable (SFP) package. They slide into the mini GBIC slot of the Gigabit device. They provide the necessary signal amplification for data to be transmitted to the network cable from the port, and vice versa, for the port to receive data from the network cable. Hot Swappable All D-Link Mini GBIC transceivers are hot-swappable. You can remove or replace the GBIC transceiver with the system powered on. This permits modules and mini-GBICs to be added or swapped without interrupting the network. Applications Applications of the fiber transceivers include distributed multi-processing, Gigabit switch cascading, high-speed I/O file transfer, bus extension application, and channel extender/data storage. |
Convert and extend a Gigabit RJ45 Ethernet connection over single or multimode LC fiber This compact Gigabit Fiber to Ethernet Media Converter enables Cat6 or similar cabling to be upgraded to an EMI-free fiber connection. The TAA-compliant adapter is designed with a convenient built-in USB cable for power, making it a perfect choice when external power options are unavailable. Simplified Installation The unmanaged fiber media converter features a plug-and-play design that does not require additional software or settings to be changed. The metal housing features an IP20 rating and is an all-in-one construction with integrated LC fiber and RJ45 ports. The RJ45 side features a metal tab to ensure a reliable and secure fit and prevent accidental disconnections. Network Features The LC slot is compatible with Single-Mode (10km) and Multimode (800m) fiber cables up to 1Gbps. A spring-loaded tab protects the port when not in use. The converter supports LFPT (Link Fault Pass-Through), allowing IT administrators to monitor and assess network connectivity at a glance based on the LED behavior. Compatibility This LAN-to-fiber converter is ideal for upgrading computers, switches, routers, or other equipment from copper to fiber. It suits various applications, including field deployments, industrial automation, telecommunications, broadcasting, data centers, and remote networking. Experience reliable connectivity with EMI immunity over long distances with this compact (3.2×0.8×0.7in/82.39x20x17.5mm) and power-efficient (2.5W max) dongle. |
