Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates with Gigabit Ethernet technology, supporting both 10/100/1000Base-T and 1000Base-LX network standards. It features two ports: one SC connector for single-mode fiber optic cable and one RJ-45 port for copper Ethernet, plus an additional RJ-45 port configured as a PoE PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) to deliver power up to 25W to compatible devices. The fiber interface uses a 9/125 µm core/cladding specification, ensuring compatibility with standard single-mode fiber cables for optimal signal integrity over extended runs.
The converter maintains full duplex operation and auto-negotiation on the copper side, while the fiber side provides stable 1310nm optical output for low-attenuation transmission. It consumes 25W from an AC power source, with built-in protection against overcurrent and overheating to ensure continuous operation in demanding conditions.
Key Product Advantages
The ADD-GMCP-LX-1SC combines media conversion with PoE power delivery in a single device, reducing clutter and simplifying deployments where both fiber extension and device power are needed. Its support for 10km single-mode fiber runs enables network expansion beyond typical copper limits, ideal for connecting buildings, campuses, or remote equipment without signal degradation.
Extended Reach with Fiber
Converts copper Ethernet to fiber optic signals, allowing reliable data transmission up to 10 kilometers where copper cables would fail due to distance or interference.
- Uses 1310nm single-mode fiber
- 9/125 µm core/cladding compatibility
- Minimal signal loss over long runs
Integrated PoE Power
Includes a PoE PSE port to deliver both data and power over a single cable, eliminating the need for separate power adapters at remote endpoints.
- Supports PoE devices like cameras and APs
- PSE configuration for power sourcing
- Up to 25W power budget
Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is ideal for extending Gigabit Ethernet networks over fiber optic infrastructure in scenarios where copper cabling is impractical or insufficient. Common applications include connecting network switches between separate buildings on a campus, linking security cameras in perimeter surveillance systems, or integrating wireless access points in large warehouses where fiber backhaul is required for performance and distance.
In industrial environments, it can bridge IT networks to operational technology (OT) equipment located in remote or harsh areas, leveraging fiber's immunity to electromagnetic interference. For VoIP deployments, it enables phone connectivity over fiber while powering the handsets via PoE, streamlining installation in offices with distributed layouts.
Campus Network Extension
Connect main office switches to outbuilding networks using single-mode fiber, maintaining Gigabit speeds across distances up to 10km without repeaters.
IP Surveillance Systems
Power and connect IP cameras over fiber runs, ensuring high-quality video feeds from remote locations with reliable PoE delivery and minimal latency.
