Add-On ADD-FMC-FX-LC 10/100BASE-TX to 100BASE-FX Media Converter
Overview
The Add-On ADD-FMC-FX-LC is a compact media converter designed to bridge the gap between copper Ethernet and fiber optic networks. It allows you to extend the reach of your 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet connections up to 2 kilometers using multi-mode fiber optic cable terminated with LC connectors. This is critical for surveillance deployments where cameras are located beyond the standard 100-meter Ethernet cable limit, or when integrating devices into existing fiber backbones. The ADD-FMC-FX-LC provides a cost-effective solution to leverage existing fiber infrastructure or deploy new fiber runs for increased bandwidth and distance.
Compatibility
This media converter is designed to interface with any standard 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet device, such as IP cameras, network switches, or workstations, that utilize an RJ-45 port. It connects to 100BASE-FX multi-mode fiber optic networks using an LC duplex connector. The converter operates at 1310nm wavelength on the fiber side. It is compatible with standard network infrastructure that supports Fast Ethernet speeds.
Installation Notes
Installation involves connecting a standard Ethernet cable (Cat5e or better) to the RJ-45 port and a multi-mode fiber optic patch cable with LC connectors to the fiber port. Ensure the fiber cable is rated for 1310nm operation and the correct distance (up to 2km). The converter is typically powered by an external power adapter (sold separately) or may be compatible with certain PoE-enabled devices if a PoE splitter is used. Verify power requirements before deployment.
