Installing a Media Converter Module

44

Overview

The PowerBlade Media Converters are designed to extend the distance
of your network by interconnecting LAN devices that are physically
separated by large distances.

There are several different PowerBlade modules that you can “mix and
match” in a chassis. The media converter modules come in a variety of
port configurations, connectors types, and operating distances.
PowerBlade Media Converters are available with an RJ-45 twisted pair
connector and either an BNC standard thin Ethernet connector or a FJ,
LC, MT-RJ, SC, ST, or VF-45 fiber optic connector. Depending on the
model, the media converters feature a maximum operating distance of
100 meters (328 feet) to 100 kilometers (62 miles).
