Media Converter Intellinet Fast Ethernet WDM Bi-Directional 10/100Base-Tx to 100Base-Fx
Product specification Media Converter Intellinet Fast Ethernet WDM Bi-Directional 10/100Base-Tx to 100Base-Fx
Manufacturer:
INTELLINET
Category:
Network Media Converters
Description
The Intellinet Fast Ethernet WDM Bi-Directional Media Converter enables seamless conversion from 10/100Base-Tx to 100Base-Fx over single-mode fiber. With a maximum data transfer rate of 100 Mbit/s and a distance of up to 20 km, it supports SC connectors and features a robust metal housing. Ideal for expanding network reach while ensuring reliable connectivity. Certified by FCC Class A and CE, it operates at 5V with a maximum power consumption of 5W.
The Intellinet Fast Ethernet WDM Bi-Directional Media Converter converts 10/100Base-TX copper Ethernet to 100Base-FX single-mode fiber using bi-directional WDM on a single fibre strand (transmit/receive wavelengths 1550/1310 nm). The device is transparent to network protocols and supports both copper and fibre links, enabling network expansion, building-to-building connectivity and extended link distances without running additional fibre strands. It features an RJ-45 10/100Base-TX port, one SC 100Base-FX fibre port, a metal housing and operates from 5 V with a maximum power consumption of 5 W. The converter supports up to 100 Mbit/s data rate and link distances up to 20 km and is certified to FCC Class A and CE standards.
Advantages
The converter uses bi-directional wavelength division multiplexing to transmit and receive over a single fibre strand, saving cabling costs and allowing either two independent connections on two strands or doubling capacity without laying a second cable. It extends network reach between buildings or distant network nodes and integrates with existing copper Ethernet without changing network settings. Its compact metal housing allows desktop, wall-mount or rack-mount chassis installation for flexible deployment.
Suitable for
- Extending Ethernet links between buildings or floors
- Connecting distant networking devices over single-mode fibre up to 20 km
- Integrating fibre segments into existing copper-based networks
- Environments where single-strand fibre use reduces cabling work or cost

How to use
Install the converter near the network device or at the fibre termination point. Connect the copper Ethernet device to the RJ-45 10/100Base-TX port and terminate the single-mode fibre to the SC fibre port, observing the correct transmit/receive orientation for WDM operation. Power the unit with the specified 5 V supply. Verify link and activity LEDs to confirm connection and data transmission. When deploying multiple units in a rack, use the compatible 19" chassis if available.
Usage recommendations
Use single-mode fibre with appropriate SC connectors and check that paired converters support complementary WDM wavelengths (1550/1310 nm). For reliable long-distance links, follow fibre installation best practices (clean connectors, proper splicing/patching) and ensure power and grounding meet local requirements.

- Auto MDI/MDI-X: A Medium Dependent Interface (MDI) describes the interface (both physical and electrical) in a computer network from a physical layer implementation to the physical medium used to carry the transmission. Ethernet over twisted pair also defines a medium dependent interface crossover (MDIX) interface. Auto-MDIX ports on newer network interfaces detect if the connection would require a crossover, and automatically chooses the MDI or MDIX configuration to properly match the other end of the link.
