Saturn Fiber Optic Ethernet Media Converters

Saturn Fiber Optic Ethernet Media Converter

Moog Protokraft Saturn series fiber optic Ethernet media converters consist of optoelectronic transmitter and receiver functions integrated along with the 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX or 1000Base-T Ethernet electrical to 1000Base-LX or 1000Base-SX Ethernet optical media conversion circuitry into an environmentally sealed unit.

The optical interface to the Saturn series optical media converters is an LC-Field® connector enabling interconnection to preterminated LC based optical fiber cable assemblies. The electrical interface to the Saturn series optical media converters is an RJ-Field® connector enabling interconnection to preterminated RJ-45 Cat-5 patch cable assemblies.
