    The StarTech D01ML55P-FIBER-MEDIA is a compact, PoE-powered Gigabit media converter for connecting LC fiber to RJ45 Ethernet, suited to network administrators and IT teams upgrading PoE-capable equipment for field, remote, or industrial deployments. It supports single-mode fiber up to 10 km or multimode up to 800 m at 1 Gbps.

    Recommended For

    • Network technicians connecting a single-mode LC fiber handoff to RJ45 Ethernet equipment at a remote office or building, when a compact 1Gbps copper-to-fiber bridge is needed.
    • Field technicians who need a small, plug-and-play converter for on-site Ethernet troubleshooting or temporary deployments, and can power it from an 802.3af-or-higher PoE source.
    • IT teams extending a standard 1Gbps Ethernet connection over compatible LC single-mode or multimode fiber to connect a computer, switch, router, or other RJ45 device.
    • Installers working in indoor industrial, telecom, broadcast, or data-center settings who need a compact fiber-to-RJ45 converter for standard Ethernet links and do not need a managed switch at that point.
