Tripp Lite RJ45 to SC Fiber Extender 850nm 1800ft

Description

Product Overview

The Tripp Lite RJ45 to SC Duplex Multimode Fiber Extender Converter is engineered to bridge the gap between traditional copper Ethernet cabling and high‑performance multimode fiber infrastructure. Built with a rugged black housing, this converter supports 850 nm wavelength transmission, delivering true Gigabit speeds over distances up to 1800 ft (550 m). It seamlessly integrates with existing RJ45 network ports, providing a male‑to‑female RJ45 connector on one side and a precision‑aligned SC duplex connector on the other. The device operates on a low 5‑volt power supply and is fully compatible with Power over Ethernet + (PoE+), ensuring that powered devices downstream can continue to receive power without additional adapters. Six built‑in LEDs give real‑time visual feedback on link status, activity, and power, simplifying troubleshooting in complex installations.

Usage

Designed for both indoor and outdoor environments, this extender excels in a variety of professional settings. In industrial plants, it can connect control panels, PLCs, and monitoring stations across large floor spaces where copper cabling would be impractical or prone to electromagnetic interference. Surveillance systems benefit from the extended reach, allowing high‑definition cameras to be placed at optimal viewpoints while maintaining a reliable Gigabit link back to the recording server. Data centers and server rooms can use the converter to consolidate cabling runs, reducing clutter and improving airflow. Outdoor deployments, such as campus networks or remote antenna installations, take advantage of the converter’s weather‑rated housing and its ability to transmit over multimode fiber that resists moisture and temperature extremes.

Why Choose Us

Tripp Lite is a globally recognized brand known for durability, performance, and rigorous quality testing. Each converter undergoes a comprehensive validation process that includes thermal cycling, vibration resistance, and electromagnetic compatibility assessments to ensure reliable operation in demanding environments. The 2‑year warranty reflects confidence in the product’s longevity and provides customers with peace of mind. Unlike generic adapters, this converter features auto‑detection of full‑ or half‑duplex mode, eliminating the need for manual configuration and reducing the risk of mismatched settings that can degrade network performance. The compact form factor and low power consumption make it easy to install in tight spaces, while the clear LED indicators streamline maintenance and reduce downtime.

FAQ

What type of fiber cable is required?

The converter works with standard multimode fiber optic cable, typically OM1 or OM2, that matches the 850 nm wavelength specification.

Can this device be used outdoors?

Yes, the housing is rated for indoor and outdoor use, and it can operate reliably in a wide temperature range when installed in a protected enclosure.

Does it support Power over Ethernet?

It fully supports PoE+ (up to 30 W) on the RJ45 side, allowing powered devices to receive electricity through the same cable.

How does the auto‑duplex detection work?

The converter monitors the incoming signal and automatically configures itself for either full‑duplex or half‑duplex operation, eliminating the need for manual configuration.

What is the warranty period?

Tripp Lite provides a 2‑year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
