LevelOne RJ45 naar SC Gigabit mediaconverter, multimode vezel, 550 m

The LEVELONE GVT-2001 MMF SC media converter converts network signals between copper Ethernet and multi-mode fiber optic networks. It provides a 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 port and a SC fiber port, supports auto-negotiation for 10Base-T, 100Base-TX and 1000Base-T, and extends a multi-mode fiber link up to 550 m. The compact black converter features LED indicators for activity, link and power and accepts an input voltage in the 5–12 V range.

Advantages

The media converter supports both full-duplex and half-duplex operation and offers automatic speed sensing for seamless integration with existing Ethernet switches. Built-in DIP switches enable quick configuration of Smart LFP (Link Fault Pass-through) modes to monitor fiber and copper links for signal loss and to select cut-through or smart pass-through behavior. The unit operates over a wide temperature range and can be used as a standalone device or installed as a slide-in module in a CHV-2000 19” converter rack that holds up to 14 units.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Extending Ethernet networks over multi-mode fiber up to 550 m
• Connecting copper-based switches and devices to SC fiber infrastructure
• Small server rooms or wiring closets using standalone converters or a 19” rack module
• Environments requiring link-fault monitoring between copper and fiber links

How to use

Connect the RJ-45 copper cable to the 10/100/1000Base-T port and the SC multi-mode fiber to the SC port. Ensure the device receives the correct power supply (5–12 V) and verify LED indicators for link and activity. Configure DIP switches to select the desired LFP and pass-through modes according to system requirements. For rack installation, slide the unit into an available slot of the CHV-2000 19” converter rack and secure it following the rack’s instructions.

Recommendations

Use high-quality multi-mode fiber (MMF) cabling and match transceiver types and wavelengths on connected equipment. Place the converter in a ventilated location within the specified operating temperature range and regularly check link LEDs and DIP switch settings when diagnosing connectivity issues.
