Detailed Specifications
Intellinet 510493 - Fast Ethernet WDM Media Converter
Overview:
The Intellinet 510493 is a Fast Ethernet WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) bi-directional media converter, designed to convert 10/100Base-TX copper Ethernet to 100Base-FX fiber optic signals over a single strand of single-mode fiber . It is used by network engineers and system integrators to extend Ethernet networks over distances up to 40 kilometers (24.9 miles) without installing a second fiber cable .
This converter solves connectivity challenges by enabling long-distance building-to-building links and connecting remote workgroups to a central network . Its key technical feature is WDM technology, which allows simultaneous data transmission and reception on separate wavelengths (RX 1550nm, TX 1310nm) over a single fiber strand, effectively doubling the capacity of existing fiber or allowing the use of cheaper simplex cables .
Deployment is versatile; the unit can be used as a standalone desktop or wall-mount device, or it can be installed into a 14-slot media converter chassis (model 507356) for high-density applications . It is fully transparent to the network and supports jumbo frames up to 1.6 KBytes . It is NOT suitable for use with multi-mode fiber and must be paired with a matching WDM converter at the other end of the fiber link .
Key Features:
WDM technology uses one fiber strand for 40 km links
100 Mbps Fast Ethernet data transfer rate
SC-type single-mode fiber port, RX 1550nm/TX 1310nm
Versatile standalone or chassis-mountable design
Must be paired with matching WDM converter (model 510486)
