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.

Moog Protokraft Saturn series Fast or Gigabit Ethernet media converters are vibration isolated, environmentally hardened components designed for use in harsh environment applications.
