Move traffic beyond the distance limits of copper while preserving a 1 Gbps Ethernet path. This Axiom media converter converts RJ45 PoE+ connectivity to 1000BASE-EX over single-mode fiber, giving network teams a practical way to connect remote closets, outbuildings, and long campus spans without introducing another active switch at the far end. The 1,310 nm optical design and LC single-mode interface are suited to long-haul links, with a stated reach of up to 40 km. That makes this unit a strong fit when the requirement is not just conversion, but dependable transport across a fiber plant that must stay stable over distance. For procurement teams comparing lower-cost short-reach converters, this model earns its place when the link budget matters. It is built for environments where uptime, distance, and clean handoff between copper and fiber are more important than basic port conversion alone.
