Micro SFP Media Converter USB-Powered 10/100/1000BASE-T to Fiber Compact Aluminum Design

Product Overview

The LNK-M3011-SFP Micro Mini Media Converter is a compact, high-performance Gigabit Ethernet-to-fiber converter designed for seamless copper-to-fiber network integration. Utilizing advanced switching technology, it delivers reliable media conversion while complying with IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet), 802.3u (Fast Ethernet), 802.3z (Gigabit Fiber), and 802.3ab (Gigabit Copper) standards.

Key Features & Benefits

✅ Multi-Speed Auto-Sensing & SFP Flexibility

• Supports 10/100/1000BASE-T auto-negotiation on the RJ45 port, ensuring compatibility with existing copper-based networks.

• Converts to 100/1000BASE-X SFP fiber (supports 100Base-SX/LX and 1000Base-SX/LX/LH/ZX), enabling long-distance transmission (up to 120km with single-mode fiber)—far beyond the 100m limit of copper cables.

✅ Ultra-Compact & USB-Powered

• Micro mini form factor (smallest in class) ideal for high-density installations in racks, industrial panels, or portable setups.

• USB-powered (5VDC): Enables plug-and-play operation from any computer/laptop USB port, with auto-shutdown when the host powers off—perfect for energy-efficient deployments and fiber-to-laptop applications.

✅ Versatile Fiber Connectivity

• Works with multi-mode (MMF), single-mode dual-fiber (SMF duplex), and single-fiber BiDi (simplex) SFP modules, offering deployment flexibility.

• Hot-swappable SFP cage allows easy upgrades without replacing the entire unit.

✅ Industrial-Grade Performance

• Wide operating temperature range (-40°C to 75°C) for harsh environments (e.g., outdoor cabinets, factory floors).

• Low power consumption (<3W) and fanless design ensure silent, 24/7 reliability for enterprise, ISP, and OT networks.
