Description

StarTech IMC1GSFP Fiber TO Ethernet Media Converter

Overview

The StarTech IMC1GSFP is a compact, industrial-grade media converter designed to bridge the gap between copper Ethernet and fiber optic networks. It extends network reach beyond the 100-meter limit of standard Ethernet cabling by converting 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet signals to fiber optic signals. This makes it ideal for extending network infrastructure in environments where long-distance communication is required, such as connecting remote surveillance cameras or bridging network segments across large facilities. The IMC1GSFP supports a wide operating temperature range, making it suitable for demanding industrial applications.

Compatibility

This media converter is compatible with standard 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet devices. It requires a corresponding fiber optic transceiver (SFP module, sold separately) on the fiber side to establish a connection. It is designed to integrate with existing network infrastructure, supporting standard Ethernet protocols and data rates. It is not specific to any particular brand of network equipment, provided the SFP module is compatible with the desired fiber optic standard (e.g., single-mode or multi-mode fiber).

Installation Notes

The IMC1GSFP offers flexible mounting options, supporting both DIN rail and wall mounting configurations, allowing for easy integration into industrial control cabinets or network racks. It operates within a wide temperature range of -40°C to 75°C (-40°F to 167°F), ensuring reliable performance in harsh environments. Power is supplied via a 12-56V DC input, with a low power consumption of only 3 Watts at 48V DC, minimizing heat generation and power draw. The device has undergone vibration (EN 60068-2-6), shock (EN 60068-2-27), and free-fall (EN 60068-2-32) testing, along with ESD (IEC 61000-4-2), EFT (IEC 61000-4-4), and Surge (IEC 61000-4-5) protection, indicating its suitability for industrial deployments.
