Unmanaged Fiber Media Converters

Unmanaged fiber media converters are compact network devices that provide copper-to-fiber and fiber-to-fiber conversion for flexible fiber network connectivity.

The self-contained FlexPoint unmanaged fiber media converter modules can be used as desktop or wall-mounted standalone units, or be rack-mounted using a 5-Module shelf or a 14-Module powered chassis. The media converters are AC powered, and can be DC powered (18-60VDC) by attaching an optional DC power supply. Network administrators can mix and match media converter modules in a chassis for fiber access in a variety of network configurations.
