Add-On ADD-GMC-SFP 10/100/1000BASE-TX(RJ-45) to Open SFP Media Converter

Overview

The Add-On ADD-GMC-SFP media converter bridges the gap between standard Ethernet cabling and SFP-based network infrastructure. This device allows you to connect a 10/100/1000BASE-TX (RJ45) port to an open SFP slot, providing flexibility in network design and extending reach where needed. It's ideal for integrating existing copper-based network segments into fiber optic backbones or connecting devices with RJ45 ports to switches that only offer SFP uplinks. The ADD-GMC-SFP ensures signal integrity for reliable data transmission in surveillance and general IT deployments.

Compatibility

This converter is designed to interface with any standard SFP transceiver module (sold separately) and connects to any network device featuring a 10/100/1000BASE-TX (RJ45) Ethernet port. It is compatible with a wide range of network switches, routers, and IP cameras that utilize SFP modules for their uplink or network connections. Ensure your SFP module matches the desired speed and fiber type (e.g., multimode or single-mode) for your specific network requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation is straightforward: connect your RJ45 Ethernet cable to the converter's port and insert a compatible SFP transceiver into the open SFP slot. Then, connect the SFP transceiver to your network backbone or device. The converter draws power directly from the connected SFP port, eliminating the need for an external power supply. Ensure the SFP module is properly seated and compatible with the ADD-GMC-SFP's 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiation capabilities.
