Intellinet 510530 ? Media Converter

Overview:

The Intellinet 510530 is a Fast Ethernet WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) bi-directional media converter, designed to convert 10/100Base-TX copper Ethernet to 100Base-FX fiber optic signals over a single strand of single-mode fiber . This device is used by network engineers and system integrators to extend Ethernet networks over distances up to 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) without the need for installing new, costly fiber infrastructure .

This converter solves connectivity challenges by enabling building-to-building links and connecting remote workgroups to a central network . Its key technical feature is WDM technology, which allows simultaneous data transmission and reception on separate wavelengths (RX 1310nm, TX 1550nm) over a single fiber strand . This effectively doubles the capacity of existing fiber or allows the use of cheaper simplex cables .

Deployment is versatile; the unit can be used as a standalone desktop or wall-mount device, or it can be installed into a 14-slot media converter chassis (model 507356) for high-density applications . It is fully transparent to the network and supports jumbo frames up to 1.6 KBytes . It is NOT suitable for use with multi-mode fiber and must be paired with a matching WDM converter (model 510547) at the other end of the fiber link, as they use different transmit/receive wavelengths .

Key Features:

• WDM technology uses one fiber strand for 20 km links

• 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet data transfer rate

• SC-type single-mode fiber port, RX 1310nm/TX 1550nm

• Versatile standalone or chassis-mountable design

• Must be paired with matching model 510547
