Single-Fiber Ethernet Connectivity Over 20km
The M7275S-2SFAA provides a reliable way to extend 10/100Mbps Ethernet beyond the distance limitations of copper cabling. The converter connects a standard RJ45 Ethernet network to a single-mode fiber link and supports transmission distances up to 20 kilometers.
Using single-fiber WDM technology, the M7275S-2SFAA transmits and receives Ethernet data over one single-mode fiber strand rather than requiring separate fibers for each direction.
The M7275S-2SFAA uses 1310nm for transmission and 1550nm for reception and is designed to operate with the complementary M7275S-2SFBA, which uses the opposite wavelength configuration.
Reduce Fiber Requirements With WDM Technology
Single-fiber technology provides an efficient solution when fiber availability is limited.
The M7275S-2SFAA can help:
- Extend existing Ethernet networks without installing additional fiber
- Make use of available single-strand fiber infrastructure
- Connect remote buildings and facilities
- Reduce fiber requirements for network connections
- Extend Ethernet connectivity across long distances
The M7275S-2SFAA and M7275S-2SFBA are used together as a matched pair for bidirectional communication over one fiber strand.
10/100Mbps Ethernet-to-Fiber Conversion
The M7275S-2SFAA features a shielded RJ45 copper port supporting 10Mbps and 100Mbps Ethernet. The copper interface provides auto-negotiation for speed and duplex and can also be configured for forced operating modes when manual configuration is required.
Auto MDI/MDI-X detection simplifies installation by accommodating straight-through and crossover Ethernet connections.
The fiber interface operates at 100Mbps full-duplex and includes far-end fault detection to help identify problems with the remote fiber connection.
Reliable Network Monitoring and Fault Detection
The M7275S-2SFAA incorporates features designed to simplify installation, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
Link Fault Pass-Through helps communicate link failures between the copper and fiber sides of the connection, while Far End Fault Detection helps identify problems at the remote end of the fiber link.
LED indicators provide visibility into:
- Power status
- Copper link and activity
- Copper speed and duplex status
- Fiber link and activity
- Fiber signal detection
DIP switches provide manual configuration options for copper operating mode, duplex, speed, link fault pass-through, and auto status reporting.
Watchdog Timer and Data Buffering
The M7275S-2SFAA includes a 128Kb RAM data buffer and built-in watchdog timer to support reliable operation.
The converter supports packet sizes up to 1600 bytes in store-and-forward mode and has no packet-size limit in smart-forward mode for 100-to-100Mbps traffic.
Flexible Installation Options
The M7275S-2SFAA can be installed as a standalone media converter or installed in the MCC-14R 14-slot media converter chassis. Optional DIN rail mounting provides additional flexibility for network cabinets and equipment installations.
The compact enclosure measures approximately 3.70 × 2.79 × 1.02 inches, making it suitable for installations where equipment space is limited.
20km Single-Mode Fiber Transmission
The M7275S-2SFAA is configured specifically for 20km single-mode fiber transmission using an SC connector.
