Transition Networks SGETF1013-110-NA 1GbE Fiber Media Converter
Overview
The Transition Networks SGETF1013-110-NA is a TAA-compliant 1GbE media converter designed to extend network reach by converting copper Ethernet signals to single-mode fiber optic signals. This unit is essential for bridging the distance gap in surveillance deployments where standard Ethernet cables cannot reach, such as connecting cameras at the perimeter of a large facility to a central network closet. Its single-mode fiber capability allows for transmission over extended distances, up to 10 kilometers, making it suitable for campus environments or long cable runs.
Compatibility
This media converter is designed to interface with standard 1GbE (10/100/1000Base-T) copper Ethernet ports found on network switches, IP cameras, and other network devices. It converts the electrical signals to optical signals for transmission over single-mode fiber optic cable, compatible with standard SC connectors. It functions as a transparent bridge, meaning it does not alter network traffic beyond the signal conversion, ensuring broad compatibility with most network protocols and devices.
Installation Notes
The SGETF1013-110-NA requires a standard 12VDC power supply (sold separately) for operation. It features a compact form factor suitable for desktop placement or mounting in a rackmount chassis (sold separately). Ensure the correct type of single-mode fiber optic cable with SC connectors is used for optimal performance and distance. The unit operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F).
