Hanwha HV-IMC2000TP/SP-980 Industrial Media Converter

The Hanwha HV-IMC2000TP/SP-980 is an industrial-grade Gigabit media converter engineered to extend network reach and bridge copper and fiber connectivity across demanding surveillance and security deployments. This PoE+-enabled converter transforms 10/100/1000T Ethernet with embedded power delivery into 100X/1000X SFP fiber uplinks, enabling reliable signal transmission across extended distances without requiring separate midspan injectors or power supplies in many installations.

Key Features

PoE+ Power Delivery (802.3at): Supplies up to PoE+ power levels on the 10/100/1000T copper port, enabling direct connection to PoE-powered network cameras and reducing infrastructure complexity

Dual Gigabit Copper-to-Fiber Conversion: Converts 10/100/1000T RJ-45 Ethernet to 100X/1000X SFP fiber, supporting flexible topology design for Fast Ethernet and Gigabit uplink scenarios

Industrial Temperature Rating: Qualified for deployment in control rooms, equipment shelters, and outdoor network enclosures where standard commercial-grade equipment may fail

Hot-Swappable SFP Fiber Port: Accepts multimode or single-mode SFP transceiver modules (sold separately), enabling custom fiber reach planning without hardware replacement

TAA Compliant: Meets Trade Agreements Act requirements for government and federal deployments

Technical Highlights

The HV-IMC2000TP/SP-980 delivers protocol transparency and power budget capacity required for mixed-media camera networks integrated with Hanwha surveillance infrastructure. The device bridges the gap between copper and fiber environments, allowing organizations to extend camera reach while maintaining power delivery and signal integrity. Industrial-grade construction ensures reliable operation in temperature-sensitive and electromagnetically challenging environments where standard converters are insufficient.

Applications

Extended-distance surveillance camera deployments requiring fiber backbone connectivity

Mixed copper and fiber network topologies in industrial and utility settings

Control room and command center infrastructure with demanding environmental conditions

Outdoor network enclosures and remote site camera extensions

Hanwha camera system integrations requiring protocol-transparent media conversion

Perspective based on aggregated IP Security Depot and affiliated engineering team experience.

The HV-IMC2000TP/SP-980 addresses a critical gap in industrial surveillance deployments where copper infrastructure must transition to fiber for distance, EMI immunity, or future scalability. By integrating PoE+ power delivery at the copper interface, this converter eliminates the need for additional power infrastructure at the conversion point—a significant simplification in remote or outdoor installations. The hot-swappable SFP slot provides flexibility for organizations to optimize fiber reach (multimode for shorter distances, single-mode for extended runs) without inventory complexity.

TAA compliance broadens applicability to government and federal buyers. For organizations standardizing on Hanwha surveillance, this device becomes essential infrastructure for hybrid network designs that cannot be served by pure-copper or pure-fiber solutions. Evaluate SFP module costs separately, as these are application-specific and sold independently.
