050-110 PRODUCT BRIEF
Single Channel Ethernet Media Converter
10/100/1000BASE-T to Fiber Optic Ethernet
10/100/1000BASE-T to 1000BASE-LX10, 1000BASE-SX, 100BASE-FX
The Glenair 050-110 is a Single Channel 10/100/1000BASE-T to Fiber Optic Media
converter that can be configured for SMF or MMF applications supporting conversion
to 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX or 100BASE-FX protocols. This media converter is
designed for harsh environments and incorporates electronics in an environmentally
sealed enclosure that incorporates two environmental M38999 connectors and one
GFOCA connector. One M38999 connector is utilized for power and 2
nd
M38999
connector is utilized for electrical signal and BIT. The GFOCA connector 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.
