Signamax 065-1196ALX Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter

Overview

The Signamax 065-1196ALX is a Gigabit Ethernet media converter designed to bridge the gap between copper Ethernet and single-mode fiber optic cabling. This unit allows you to extend your network infrastructure up to 10 kilometers, making it suitable for connecting remote surveillance cameras, access control panels, or other network devices in large facilities or across campuses where standard Ethernet cable runs are insufficient. It supports 10/100/1000BaseT/TX copper connections and converts them to 1000Base-LX single-mode fiber, ensuring high-speed data transmission over longer distances.

Compatibility

This media converter is designed to interface with standard 10/100/1000BaseT/TX Ethernet ports found on most network switches, routers, and end devices. It connects to 1000Base-LX single-mode fiber optic networks using SC connectors. It is compatible with any network equipment that adheres to IEEE 802.3ab (1000Base-T) and IEEE 802.3z (1000Base-LX) standards. For surveillance deployments, this means it can connect to the copper port of many IP cameras or NVRs to extend their network reach to a central management system.

Installation Notes

The unit operates on 110V AC power. Ensure the fiber optic cable is single-mode SC-terminated and rated for the 10km distance. Verify correct polarity and connector seating to avoid signal loss. The converter is designed for indoor use in controlled environments; avoid exposure to extreme temperatures or moisture.
