ProLink PL‑MCG‑SM — Single‑Mode Fiber Media Converter, 10/100/1000 Base‑TX/FX

Key Features:

• Gigabit Ethernet Support — 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ‑45 copper port with auto‑negotiation and auto MDI/MDI‑X support for simple plug‑and‑play connection.

• 1000 Mbps Fiber Port (SM) — Single‑mode fiber (FX) port for long‑distance optical links at full gigabit speeds.

• Full Wire‑Speed Conversion — Ensures that traffic isn’t throttled between copper and fiber sides, maintaining peak performance.

• Jumbo Frame Support — Handles jumbo packets up to 20K bytes, improving performance for high‑throughput or storage traffic.

• Auto MDI/MDI‑X — Eliminates the need for crossover cables or manual configuration on the RJ‑45 port.

• High‑Efficiency Packet Buffer — SRAM buffer helps smooth traffic bursts and maintain link stability.

• Flexible Installation Options — Can be used as a stand‑alone unit or mounted in a ProLink MCC‑14R media converter chassis; DIN rail mounting available as an option.

• Bi‑Directional & CWDM Options — Some variants support bi‑directional or CWDM fiber communication for specialized deployments.

• Power Supply: Typically +5 VDC (adapter included)

• Typical Package Size: ~94 × 71 × 26 mm (L×W×H)

Performance & Connectivity:

• Extend Network Distance: Single‑mode fiber support allows transmission over much longer distances than copper Ethernet alone — ideal for linking buildings, floors, or distant closets.

• Gigabit Throughput: Full wire‑speed support ensures that copper traffic up to 1 Gbps is maintained across the fiber link.

• Stable, Plug‑and‑Play Operation: Auto MDI/MDI‑X and auto‑negotiation simplify installation by eliminating manual crossover or speed/duplex settings.

• Diagnostic LEDs: Common LED indicators show power status, link/activity, speed, and duplex to aid basic troubleshooting without management overhead.
