Signamax 065-1196SFPDR 10/100/1000 to 1000Base SFP Media Converter

Overview

The Signamax 065-1196SFPDR is a critical component for extending network infrastructure beyond standard Ethernet cable limitations. This media converter bridges the gap between copper-based 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet and fiber optic links using SFP modules, enabling data transmission over longer distances. It is specifically designed for environments where network segmentation or extended reach is required, such as connecting remote surveillance cameras or network switches in large facilities.

Compatibility

This converter is designed to interface with standard 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet ports on switches, routers, or network devices. It accepts any industry-standard 1000Base-SX, 1000Base-LX, or 100Bse-FX SFP transceiver (sold separately) for fiber optic connectivity, providing flexibility for various fiber types and distances. It is suitable for integration with IP camera systems, network attached storage (NAS), and other IP-based equipment requiring a fiber uplink or extension.

Installation Notes

The unit requires a 110V AC power source. Ensure the SFP module is correctly seated and compatible with the desired fiber type and distance before powering on the converter. The RJ-45 port supports auto-negotiation for speed and duplex modes, simplifying initial setup.
