Μετατροπέας μέσων δικτύου Barox LO-9500-G-SFP

The Barox LO-9500-G-SFP is a compact network media converter designed to bridge copper Ethernet and fiber optic links at gigabit speeds. Supporting 10Base-T, 100Base-TX and 100Base-T inputs with a 1000Base-X fiber output, this device enables integration of existing copper infrastructure with fiber backbones using LC connectors. With a maximum data transfer rate of 1000 Mbit/s, a single RJ-45 port and one fiber port, the unit provides a simple solution for extending network segments, linking switches, or connecting equipment across longer distances while keeping power consumption low.

Advantages

The Barox LO-9500-G-SFP combines multi-rate copper compatibility and a gigabit fiber interface in a compact form factor, allowing seamless conversion between Ethernet speeds without requiring major changes to network topology. Its LC fiber connector support ensures compatibility with common single-mode and multimode transceivers, while the device’s low power consumption (2 W) and 5 V output voltage make it suitable for space- and energy-constrained environments. The presence of one RJ-45 and one fiber port simplifies installation and minimizes footprint in rack- or desk-mounted setups.

Suitable for

• Extending LAN segments between buildings or floors using fiber
• Connecting legacy 10/100Base-TX devices to a gigabit fiber network
• Linking switches or network equipment where copper-to-fiber conversion is required

How to use

Install the Barox LO-9500-G-SFP on a stable surface or in a compatible mounting location and connect power according to the device’s power input requirements. Plug a copper Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 port from the 10/100/1000Base-T device or switch, and connect an LC-terminated fiber cable to the 1000Base-X SFP port on the converter. Ensure link LEDs (if present) indicate an active connection and verify network settings (speed/duplex and link status) on connected devices. For SFP modules that require specific transceivers, install a compatible LC SFP transceiver in the fiber slot before connecting the fiber cable.

Recommendations

Use quality LC fiber cables and, where applicable, compatible SFP transceivers that match your fiber type (single-mode or multimode) and distance requirements. Verify that connected devices support the selected Ethernet speeds and adjust network device settings as needed to ensure proper auto-negotiation or fixed-speed operation. Keep the converter in a ventilated area and protect fiber connectors from dust and contamination to maintain optimal signal quality.
