Media Converter Rack
C-LIGHT Media Converter Rack is a rack-mounted solution for centralized management of fiber-optic and copper Ethernet signal conversion, enabling high-density deployment of media converter modules. It supports multi-mode/single-mode fiber-to-copper Ethernet conversion (e.g., 100/1000Base-T to SFP/SFP+), auto-negotiation (10/100/1000Mbps), and advanced features like VLAN/QoS. Designed with modularity, hot-swappable components, redundant power supplies, and intelligent cooling, it ensures high reliability and scalability in data centers, telecom rooms, or industrial networks. Typical configurations include 19-inch rack mounting, LED status indicators, optional SNMP remote monitoring, and dust/shock-resistant enclosures. Certified with CE, FCC, and UL, it complies with EMC and NEBS standards, ideal for long-distance transmission, network segmentation, and heterogeneous network integration.
