050-138 PRODUCT BRIEF
Media Converter, Single or Dual Channel, Panel Mount
10/100/1000BASE-T to Fiber Optic Ethernet (SX, LX10 or FX)
10/100/1000BASE-T to 1000BASE-SX or 1000BASE-LX10
The Glenair 050-138 is a 10/100/1000BASE-T to Fiber Media converter that can
be configured for 1 or 2 channels and can support conversion to 1000BASE-SX,
1000BASE-LX or 100BASE-FX protocols. It is designed for harsh environments
and incorporates electronics in an environmentally sealed enclosure that
incorporates two environmental connectors. The M38999 connector is utilized for
power and electrical signal and the Glenair GHD is used for the Fiber Optic signals
and can be configured to support either single mode or multi-mode fiber
applications.

Flow Control
Ethernet flow control is a mechanism for temporarily stopping the transmission of data on Ethernet computer
networks. If data flow between the two devices connected to the media converter will vary in rate, it is up to the
end user to ensure their higher speed devices are throttled correctly to ensure loss of data does not occur over
time. Flow control can be enabled at the factory if so desired. Contact the factory for more details.
