Product Overview
The OPTONE 2-Port Gigabit Media Converter (OPT-2202 Series) is an advanced, high-performance network device designed to bridge dual copper Ethernet links with a high-speed gigabit optical backbone. Featuring a 3-port configuration with two 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 ports and one 1000Base-FX fiber port, this unit acts as a compact switch, allowing multiple IP devices (such as IP cameras, switches, or workstations) to seamlessly share a single fiber optic path.
Supporting triple-speed auto-negotiation (10/100/1000Mbps) and an independent LFP (Link Fault Pass-through) function for rapid fault isolation, this converter extends network ranges from 550m over multi-mode fiber up to 120km over single-mode fiber. Housed in a rugged metal enclosure and backed by a 3-year warranty, it is the ideal choice for security surveillance and enterprise campus expansions.
Key Features & Benefits
Dual Gigabit Copper Ports: Equipped with 2x RJ-45 ports supporting 10/100/1000Mbps speeds, eliminating the need for an external switch at remote drop locations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What are the main advantages of the OPT-2202 series over single-port converters?
The OPT-2202 series features two Ethernet RJ-45 ports instead of one. This acts like a compact mini-switch, enabling you to connect two network devices (such as two IP cameras or an IP phone and a PC) to share a single fiber optic uplink, saving deployment costs and equipment space.
Q2: What is the LFP function and why is it important?
LFP (Link Fault Pass-through) is a diagnostic safety feature. If a fiber link breaks or drops, the converter automatically shuts down the copper link on the opposite side. This immediately alerts connected switches or routers to the failure, preventing data loss (“black-holing”) and helping technicians pinpoint network problems much faster.
