Comnet Small Size 100Mbps Media Converter SC Connector AC/DC Power mm 2 fiber - CNFE1003MAC2-M

Comnet CNFE1003MAC2-M Small Size 100Mbps Media Converter

Overview

The CNFE1003MAC2-M is a compact 100Mbps media converter designed to extend IP surveillance systems over multimode fiber (2 fiber) links using SC connectors. This unit bridges copper Ethernet to fiber, solving the core problem of long-distance camera deployments where standard twisted-pair cabling introduces attenuation or EMI issues — fiber buys you distance and isolation. The AC/DC dual-input power supply makes it flexible for both powered and battery-backed installations in remote camera sites, utility boxes, or distributed perimeter networks.

Compatibility

The CNFE1003MAC2-M works with any IP camera, NVR, or network device that outputs standard 10/100 Ethernet. Multimode SC fiber (typically OM3 or OM4 in surveillance deployments) connects at both ends — use a matching converter at the recorder or switch end to return to copper. Common pairing scenarios include Axis, Hikvision, Dahua, and Uniview camera systems deployed across parking lots, perimeter fences, or buildings separated by 500+ meters where single-mode fiber economics are unnecessary.

Installation Notes

Verify fiber continuity and polarity before termination — crossed TX/RX fibers will block traffic silently. The SC connector design (male/female pairs, typically duplex) is standard; handle connectors with care to avoid endface scratches that degrade signal. AC/DC input (universal 100–240V AC or 12V DC via barrel connector) simplifies field power — no separate power injector required. Confirm that your fiber run uses the same core count (2 fiber multimode) as the converter expects; mismatches require a second converter with different port configuration.
