Add-On ADD-GMCMN-SX-ST 1Gbps Media Converter

Overview

The Add-On ADD-GMCMN-SX-ST is a compact media converter designed to bridge the gap between standard copper Ethernet and single-mode fiber optic cabling. This device is critical for extending network distances beyond the 100-meter limit of copper Ethernet, making it suitable for connecting remote surveillance cameras, access control panels, or network switches in large facilities or across campuses. Its single-mode fiber capability allows for transmission over many kilometers, ensuring reliable data flow where traditional Ethernet fails.

Compatibility

This converter is designed for 1Gbps Ethernet connections. It interfaces with standard RJ-45 Ethernet ports on network switches, IP cameras, or other network devices. The fiber optic side utilizes an ST connector, compatible with single-mode fiber optic cables rated for 1Gbps transmission. It is intended for use in IP-based surveillance systems and general IT networking where fiber extension is required.

Installation Notes

Installation involves connecting a standard Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port and a single-mode fiber optic cable with an ST connector to the fiber port. Ensure the fiber cable is clean and properly terminated. The converter itself does not require configuration and is powered via the connected Ethernet port (PoE pass-through not specified, assume external power may be required if not PoE-enabled). Verify that the fiber optic cable's wavelength and distance rating match the requirements for the connected network infrastructure.
