The The CommFront FBR-Ethernet-2 is a compact, light-weight, superior-quality 10/100M Ethernet to fiber optic media converter, which provides one channel for media conversion between 10/100BaseTX and 100BaseFX. Besides the capability of long distance data transmission, fiber optic products are inherently resistant to EMI/RFI and transient surges; therefore, they are ideal for data communications near heavy electrical equipment and other electrical or radio interference.

This industrial Ethernet-to-Fiber-Optic converter is enclosed in a heavy-duty, rustless ABS housing (the improved version of our previous steel housing), it operates within a temperature range of -40F to 185F (-40C to 85C), and features 600W surge protection and 15kV static protection. The unit features auto-negotiation for half or full-duplex and 10 or 100Mbps data rates, it also supports MDI (straight-through) and MDIX (crossover) cables, therefore, no DIP switch, jumper settings or software drivers are required, making the unit a highly reliable and truly plug-and-play device. Depending on the fiber cable and the type of media converter used, a single-mode media converter can extend the 10/100M Ethernet distance to up to 12.4 miles (20 km), while a single-mode media converter can extend the distance to up to 1.2 miles (2 km).

The FBR-Ethernet-2 comes with the options of ST, SC and FC connectors for fiber optic links, and, thanks to the professional and unique casing design, the product can be mounted directly on a wall, panel or DIN Rail, without a need of using any unsecured DIN-Rail or wall-mount adapters. A separate external power supply is included in the package, and the unit is backed by our 30-day risk-free money-back guarantee and 5-year replacement warranty.
