Gigabit Copper-to-Fiber Media Converter, SC Singlemode, 20 km – Signamax FO-065-1196ALXED

Signamax FO-065-1196ALXED — Gigabit Copper-to-Fiber Media Converter, SC Singlemode, 20 km

The Signamax FO-065-1196ALXED is a purpose-built media converter that bridges copper Ethernet and singlemode fiber networks to extend connectivity beyond the limits of twisted-pair cabling. It converts 10/100/1000Base-TX copper links to 1000Base-LX singlemode fiber, enabling reliable gigabit links over long distances up to 20 km. This unit addresses common installation challenges where copper reach is insufficient or where fiber is required for immunity to EMI and secure campus or facility links. The converter provides a straightforward solution for point-to-point fiber uplinks, network segment extensions, and migration paths from copper to fiber. Its singlemode SC fiber interface supports long-reach backbone connections and integration into existing fiber infrastructure. The device is appropriate for both new deployments and retrofit projects where preserving existing copper equipment while gaining fiber reach is necessary. Installers and network technicians will find it useful for minimizing downtime while expanding network topologies.
