Add-On ADD-GMCMN-LX-2SC 1Gbps RJ45 to SC Fiber Media Converter

Overview

The Add-On ADD-GMCMN-LX-2SC is a 1 Gigabit Ethernet media converter designed to bridge the gap between copper twisted-pair networking and single-mode fiber optic cabling. This unit is essential for extending network distances beyond the 100-meter limit of standard Ethernet, making it ideal for connecting remote surveillance cameras, access control panels, or other network devices in large facilities, campus environments, or industrial settings where fiber infrastructure is already in place. It provides a reliable, high-bandwidth link using a standard SC fiber connector.

Compatibility

This media converter is compatible with any standard 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet network device that utilizes an RJ45 connector. The fiber port is a single-mode SC connector, designed for use with single-mode fiber optic patch cords. It functions as a transparent bridge, meaning it does not require specific software or driver installation and will work with any network equipment supporting 1Gbps Ethernet standards.

Installation Notes

Requires a standard single-mode SC fiber optic patch cord for connection to the fiber network. The RJ45 port accepts standard Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet patch cables. Power is supplied via an external power adapter (sold separately or verify if included in specific kits). Ensure the fiber optic cable is clean and free of debris before connecting to prevent signal loss or damage to the connector.
