Alistar X1SL Media Converter 10/100/1000BASE-T to SFP Slot 1000Base-SX/LX

Alistar X1SL is a Gigabit Ethernet media converter designed to convert network signals between 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 copper connections and 1000BASE-FX fiber optic links using an SFP transceiver. The device provides a flexible and cost-effective solution for extending Ethernet networks over long distances using fiber optic cabling.

The media converter features one 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 port and one SFP slot supporting 1000Base-SX/LX transceivers. By utilizing interchangeable SFP modules, users can select the most suitable optical transceiver based on fiber type and transmission distance requirements, ranging from a few meters to up to 120 km.

The Alistar X1SL eliminates the traditional 100-meter limitation of copper Ethernet cabling and enables reliable long-distance communication through fiber optic infrastructure. It is ideal for enterprise networks, data centers, surveillance systems, industrial applications, and telecommunications environments.

LFP Function (Link Fault Pass Through)

The media converter supports LFP (Link Fault Pass Through), an advanced link monitoring feature that continuously checks the status of both copper and fiber connections. If a link failure occurs on one side, the converter automatically propagates the fault condition to the opposite interface, simplifying troubleshooting and reducing network downtime.
