CS-G01F02M — Gigabit Ethernet media converter 1×1000Base-X SFP + 2×10/100/1000Base-T RJ45
OPTOKON CS-G01F02M — a compact, high-performance Gigabit Ethernet media converter with Ethernet switch functionality, designed to convert an optical signal 1000Base-X to copper Ethernet 10/100/1000Base-T. The device is equipped with 1× SFP 1000 Mbit/s and 2× RJ45 10/100/1000 Mbit/s, allowing two Ethernet devices to be connected to the optical link simultaneously.
Unlike a conventional media converter with a single RJ45 port, CS-G01F02M combines the functions of a Gigabit Ethernet media converter and a compact 3-port Ethernet switch. A single optical link can be used to connect two local Ethernet devices without the need for an additional switch.
A replaceable SFP module allows the fiber type, wavelength and required reach to be selected to suit the specific project. Depending on the installed SFP, the optical link can provide a reach of 20, 40, 60, 80 or up to 100 km over single-mode fiber. For multimode fiber, transmission is supported over distances of up to 550 m.
CS-G01F02M has a switching capacity of 16 Gbit/s, a packet forwarding rate of 14,388 Mpps, a MAC address table of 2K, a buffer of 1 MB and supports Jumbo Frames up to 9K. The fanless design ensures silent operation and improves device reliability.

1 optical port + 2 Ethernet ports
The key feature of CS-G01F02M — the provision of 2 RJ45 ports. A standard media converter typically uses a 1×Fiber + 1×RJ45 configuration. CS-G01F02M allows two local Ethernet devices to connect to a single optical link.
| Port | Quantity | Speed |
|---|---|---|
| SFP | 1 | 1000 Mbit/s |
| RJ45 | 2 | 10/100/1000 Mbit/s |
This configuration is particularly convenient for remote nodes where it is necessary to connect, for example, an IP camera and a controller, two cameras, an access point and a terminal, or two other Ethernet devices, using only one optical uplink.
Typical connection diagram
Optical network → SFP → CS-G01F02M → 2×RJ45 → Ethernet devices
Or when using the device to transmit data in the opposite direction:
2× Ethernet devices → RJ45 → CS-G01F02M → SFP → optical fiber → remote network node
Thanks to the built-in switching function, both RJ45 ports can operate through a single Gigabit Ethernet optical uplink.
Universal SFP interface
Use of a standard SFP slot makes CS-G01F02M significantly more versatile than media converters with a fixed optical transceiver.
For a specific project, a suitable SFP module can be selected based on:
- optical fiber type;
- required reach;
- wavelength;
- optical connector type;
- whether a dual-fiber or single-fiber Bi-Di/WDM link is required.
Replacing the SFP allows the optical link parameters to be changed without replacing the media converter itself.
Optical transmission distance up to 100 km
The optical link distance is determined by the specifications of the installed SFP module and the optical link parameters.
| Optical link type | Distance |
|---|---|
| Multimode | Up to 550 m |
| Single Mode | 20 km |
| Single Mode | 40 km |
| Single Mode | 60 km |
| Single Mode | 80 km |
| Single Mode | Up to 100 km |
This allows a single media converter model to be used for both local optical connections and long-distance backbone links.
Copper Ethernet ports
CS-G01F02M is equipped with 2 RJ45 10/100/1000Base-T ports. Standard Cat.5e or Cat.6 Ethernet cables up to 100 m long can be used for connection.

Switching capacity of 16 Gbit/s
CS-G01F02M has a switching capacity of 16 Gbit/s and a packet forwarding rate of up to 14,388 million packets per second.
This ensures efficient transmission of Gigabit Ethernet traffic between two copper ports and the optical SFP interface.
2K MAC address table
The built-in MAC address table supports up to 2048 entries. The device automatically learns the MAC addresses of connected Ethernet equipment and forwards traffic to the appropriate port.
1 MB buffer
CS-G01F02M is equipped with a packet buffer of 1 MB. Buffering helps stabilize data transmission during brief load spikes and variations in traffic intensity between ports.
Low forwarding latency
Forwarding latency is approximately 5 µs, allowing the device to be used in networks where fast Ethernet traffic transmission is important.
Jumbo Frame support up to 9K
CS-G01F02M supports Jumbo Frames up to 9K in size. Support for larger Ethernet frames can be useful in networks with intensive transmission of large volumes of data.
