Lantronix SGFEB1040-130-NA Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter
Overview
The Lantronix SGFEB1040-130-NA is a gigabit Ethernet media converter designed to bridge copper Ethernet networks with fiber optic infrastructure. It translates a 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet connection to a 1000Base-X fiber optic link using a single SFP module. This device is critical for extending network distances beyond the typical 100-meter limit of copper cabling, making it suitable for connecting remote surveillance cameras, access control panels, or other network devices in large facilities or across campuses. The inclusion of a North American power supply simplifies deployment in the US and Canada.
Compatibility
This media converter is designed to interface with standard 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet ports found on switches, network video recorders (NVRs), and IP cameras. It requires a compatible 1000Base-X SFP transceiver (sold separately) to establish the fiber optic link. The SGFEB1040-130-NA is compatible with any network device that adheres to IEEE 802.3ab (Gigabit Ethernet over twisted pair) and IEEE 802.3z (Gigabit Ethernet over fiber optics) standards, ensuring broad interoperability within commercial and industrial network environments.
Installation Notes
Installation involves connecting a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable to the copper port and inserting a compatible 1000Base-X SFP transceiver into the SFP slot. The device is powered via the included North American power adapter. Ensure the chosen SFP transceiver matches the fiber type (e.g., single-mode or multi-mode) and wavelength required for the fiber optic cable run. The operating temperature range for this unit is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F), making it suitable for controlled indoor environments.
