Reliable Gigabit Copper-to-Fiber Conversion
The MF7260 Gigabit Industrial Media Converter provides an efficient way to connect copper-based Ethernet equipment to a Gigabit fiber optic network. Its RJ45 port supports 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet, while the 1000Mbps SFP slot provides flexibility for selecting the appropriate fiber interface.
The converter uses non-blocking store-and-forward switching with a 4Gbps switching capacity, a 4K MAC address table, and support for jumbo frames up to 9.6K bytes. These features provide reliable packet processing for demanding network applications.
The copper Ethernet port supports auto-negotiation and auto MDI/MDI-X, simplifying installation and allowing the converter to automatically adapt to connected Ethernet equipment. Full- and half-duplex operation is supported along with IEEE 802.3x pause-frame flow control and back-pressure.
Flexible SFP Fiber Connectivity
The MF7260 uses a 1000Mbps SFP fiber slot, allowing the fiber interface to be selected based on the requirements of the network. VERSITRON offers compatible SFP modules for multimode, single-mode, and single-fiber applications.
Available SFP configurations include:
- Multimode fiber up to 550 meters
- Multimode fiber up to 2 kilometers
- Single-mode fiber up to 10 kilometers
- Single-mode fiber up to 20 kilometers
- Single-mode fiber up to 40 kilometers
- Single-mode fiber up to 70 kilometers
- Single-mode fiber up to 100 kilometers
- Single-fiber BiDi configurations from 10 to 80 kilometers
CWDM and DWDM modules are also available. SFP modules are sold separately.
Industrial Design for Reliable Network Operation
The MF7260 is engineered for installations where dependable network connectivity is required in demanding environments. Its IP44 metal enclosure provides a rugged housing, while redundant DC power inputs provide additional power redundancy for critical installations.
The converter accepts dual 9–52VDC inputs, consumes approximately 4 watts at full load, and supports DIN rail mounting. It is designed to operate from -40°C to +80°C and has an MTBF greater than 100,000 hours.
The MF7260 also incorporates 4KV Ethernet surge protection and industrial-rated emission and immunity performance.
Easy Installation and Network Monitoring
The MF7260 is designed for straightforward installation in industrial network environments. Auto-negotiation and auto MDI/MDI-X simplify copper Ethernet connections, while LED indicators provide local status information for power, copper link/activity, and fiber SFP link/activity.
Its compact industrial enclosure and DIN rail mounting make it well suited for control cabinets, equipment enclosures, and other space-conscious installations.
