Move Gigabit connectivity beyond copper limits without redesigning the edge. This AXIOM media converter bridges 1 GbE RJ45 to 1000BASE-LX over single-mode fiber, giving you a clean path to remote closets, outdoor enclosures, and distributed devices that sit well past standard Ethernet reach. PoE+ support matters when the endpoint needs both data and power. By carrying copper Ethernet into a fiber uplink, this unit helps keep cameras, wireless access points, and other powered devices online while reducing the distance constraints that typically force expensive infrastructure changes. The LC interface and 1,310 nm optics are built for long-haul single-mode runs, with support for links up to 20 km. For teams standardizing on fiber backbones, this converter is a practical way to extend service without adding complexity at the switch layer. It fits the common enterprise pattern: copper at the edge, fiber in the riser, and dependable transport between them. When uptime, reach, and endpoint power all matter, this model gives you the distance budget and electrical flexibility to keep the network where the work is.
