Description

StarTech MCMGBSCSM10 Single Mode Fiber Ethernet Media Converter

Overview

The StarTech MCMGBSCSM10 is a single-mode fiber optic media converter designed to bridge the gap between copper Ethernet and single-mode fiber networks. It extends network reach up to 10 km (6.2 mi.), making it ideal for connecting disparate network segments across large facilities, campuses, or between buildings where standard Ethernet cable lengths are insufficient. This converter supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds on both its copper and fiber interfaces, ensuring high-bandwidth data transfer without becoming a bottleneck.

Compatibility

This media converter is compatible with any standard 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet device or switch featuring an RJ45 port. It connects to single-mode fiber optic cabling terminated with SC duplex connectors. The 1310nm wavelength ensures compatibility with standard single-mode fiber infrastructure. It supports Jumbo Frames up to 9K, which can improve efficiency for large data transfers common in VMS or storage applications.

Installation Notes

The MCMGBSCSM10 operates within a 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F) temperature range. It requires a standard 100-240V AC input, with the included power adapter providing a 5V DC, 2A output. Power consumption is a low 3.75W typical. The compact form factor (2.8 x 4.1 x 1.0 in.) allows for easy deployment in tight spaces.
