Add-On ADD-GMCMN-SFP 1Gbps RJ-45 to SFP Media Converter

Overview

The Add-On ADD-GMCMN-SFP is a compact media converter designed to bridge the gap between standard copper Ethernet and fiber optic networks. It allows you to connect a device with an RJ-45 port to a network segment utilizing an SFP transceiver, effectively extending network reach beyond the typical 100-meter limit of copper cabling. This is critical for deploying surveillance cameras or other network devices in large facilities where fiber infrastructure is already in place or required for longer distances. The ADD-GMCMN-SFP model specifically supports 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) data rates.

Compatibility

This media converter is compatible with any network device featuring a standard 1Gbps RJ-45 Ethernet port and any standard SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceiver module. It is commonly used to connect network switches, IP cameras, or other IP-based devices to a fiber backbone. Ensure your SFP module is compatible with the desired fiber type (e.g., multimode or single-mode) and wavelength for your specific network infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Installation involves inserting a compatible SFP transceiver into the SFP slot and connecting your RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the corresponding port. Power is typically supplied via a standard 5V DC input (adapter not included). Ensure the operating environment is within the specified temperature range for reliable operation.
