The Intellinet Network Solutions Fast Ethernet Media Converter was specifically designed to offer the network designer a device for migration from copper-based Ethernet to Fiber Ethernet. Now migration or expansion of existing networks can be achieved with minimum cost and complexity. The converter is completely transparent to the network so the network performs exactly the way it did before - only now it can support both copper and fiber mediums.
Expands the Size of an Existing Network
Provides fiber connectivity to Ethernet segments, allowing for even further networking expansion between extended workgroups. Also provides building-to-building connectivity without the need for the cost and disruption associated with the installation of additional routers.
Enhances the Distance between Networking Devices
Connecting the converter to fiber segments can further extend distances between networking nodes. This can be achieved by direct connection between the converter and a fiber-based node or networking device.
Cabling Flexibility
Network managers can install fiber cabling anywhere within a network without changing the arrangement of copper-based Ethernet. The compact size of the converter allows it to be easily deployed in any narrow desktop location or to be used in a wall-mount installation. Several converters can be simultaneously installed into a 19" rack-mountable chassis.

The Intellinet Network Solutions 506519 is a Fast Ethernet media converter for network administrators extending a 10/100Base-TX copper Ethernet connection over multimode fiber, with support for fiber links up to 2 km.
Recommended For
- Network installers extending a legacy 10/100 Ethernet connection between rooms or buildings over existing multimode fiber with ST connectors, where both ends support 100BASE-FX.
- IT teams connecting a copper-Ethernet switch or device to a fiber-based network node when they need a simple media conversion rather than a router-based redesign.
- Maintainers of older 100 Mbps equipment who need to keep a Fast Ethernet link in service over compatible multimode fiber instead of upgrading the connected devices.
- Small-network teams that want a standalone converter for a fiber link and have power available near the installation point; the manufacturer also describes desktop, wall-mount, and optional chassis use.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- To link two nearby buildings that already have compatible multimode ST fiber, place a converter at each end and connect each to a copper Ethernet switch; this extends the existing Fast Ethernet network without running a long copper cable between buildings.
- When a copper-only switch or network device needs to connect to a compatible fiber link, use the converter at the fiber termination; the device can join the network over fiber while keeping its RJ45 Ethernet connection.
- For a network retrofit with existing multimode ST fiber, this converter can bridge that fiber to 10/100 Ethernet equipment, helping retain the cabling; the far end must also support a compatible 100Base-FX link.
- To extend a copper Ethernet segment to a distant work area, connect the local switch to one converter and a remote switch to a matching converter over the fiber run; the remote area can then join the same Ethernet network, at Fast Ethernet speeds.
- In a network closet with several fiber links to terminate, converters can be installed individually or together in Intellinet’s compatible 14-slot chassis; this gives an installer a way to organize multiple copper-to-fiber connections in one rack-mounted unit.
