Media converter kti networks KGC-310M 1000 Mbit/s 1310 nm Multi-Mode

Media converter kti networks KGC-310M 1000 Mbit/s 1310 nm Multi-Mode converts between copper Ethernet and multimode fiber interfaces, enabling integration of Ethernet segments that require optical links. The device supports data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and uses a 1310 nm wavelength on multimode fiber to extend network reach, reduce electromagnetic interference, and separate physical layers where needed. It is designed for use in office networks, server rooms and industrial environments where fiber connectivity improves reliability and network segmentation.

Advantages

The kti networks KGC-310M provides transparent media conversion with gigabit throughput and stable optical transmission at 1310 nm for multimode fiber. Its compact footprint simplifies installation in racks or on DIN rails (if applicable with mounting accessories), and passive operation characteristics minimize configuration needs. By converting copper to fiber, it reduces signal degradation over long runs and improves immunity to electrical noise while allowing seamless integration with existing Ethernet switches and endpoints.

How to use

Install the media converter in a suitable environment with proper ventilation and connect the copper Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port and the multimode optical fiber to the fiber transceiver port using compatible connectors. Ensure both ends of the fiber link use matching transceiver types and that patch cords are clean and correctly seated. Power the unit according to the manufacturer’s specifications and verify link LEDs to confirm negotiated speed and link status. No additional configuration is required for basic layer 1 media conversion; the device passes frames transparently between copper and fiber segments.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, use certified multimode fiber and quality patch cords, keep connectors clean, and observe maximum recommended link distances for multimode fiber at 1310 nm. Match link speed settings on connected switches where manual configuration is used, and place the converter in a dry, temperature-stable location away from strong electromagnetic sources. For critical installations, consider redundant paths or managed devices to monitor link health.
