Signamax 065-1194ED MM/SC to SM/SC Fiber Converter
Overview
The Signamax 065-1194ED is a fiber optic media converter designed to bridge the gap between multimode fiber (MMF) and single-mode fiber (SMF) networks. It specifically converts a 1000BaseSX signal on multimode fiber terminated with SC connectors to a 1000BaseLX signal on single-mode fiber, also with SC connectors. This device is critical for extending the reach of network infrastructure, particularly in surveillance deployments where camera locations may exceed the distance limitations of standard MMF. The 20 km transmission capability on single-mode fiber allows for robust, high-bandwidth connectivity over significant distances, ensuring reliable data transfer from remote cameras or devices back to a central NVR or network switch.
Compatibility
This converter is designed for use with standard 1000BaseSX (multimode) and 1000BaseLX (single-mode) network equipment. It requires a 1000BaseSX source on the MMF/SC side and connects to a 1000BaseLX receiver on the SMF/SC side. It is compatible with network switches, routers, and IP cameras that support Gigabit Ethernet over fiber optics with SC connectors. Ensure your existing fiber infrastructure uses SC connectors for seamless integration. This unit is intended for point-to-point conversion and does not perform protocol translation beyond the physical layer.
Installation Notes
Installation involves connecting the appropriate fiber optic cables to the SC ports on each side of the converter. The MMF/SC port accepts multimode fiber, and the SMF/SC port accepts single-mode fiber. Ensure correct polarity and clean fiber connectors for optimal performance. The device operates within a standard temperature range suitable for controlled indoor environments. No external power supply is required as it draws power from the connected network equipment via its integrated interface, simplifying installation and reducing cable clutter. Verify that the connected network ports support Gigabit speeds and the respective fiber types (MMF for SX, SMF for LX).
