LevelOne RJ45 naar SC Gigabit mediaconverter, PoE PSE, single-mode fiber, 20km

The LevelOne GVT-2014 Gigabit Media Converter is a single-port RJ45 to SC fiber converter that enables delivery of data and power over Ethernet for network devices. It supports gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 1000 Mbit/s, uses a single-mode SC fiber interface with a maximum reach of 20 km at 1310 nm, and includes LED indicators for link, activity and power. The converter accepts 100–240 V input and provides a compact grey unit for extending wired network connections where long-distance fiber and PoE support are required.

Advantages

This media converter combines high-speed gigabit data transmission with single-mode fiber reach up to 20 km and standard SC connectivity, allowing network extension without additional electrical cabling. The single RJ45 port supports 10/100/1000 Mbit/s operation and the unit includes visible LEDs for easy status monitoring. Its compatibility with IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.3af standards ensures interoperability with a wide range of network equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting a single Ethernet device over long-distance single-mode fiber (up to 20 km)
• Extending network segments between buildings or distant rooms
• Powering and connecting devices that use PoE-enabled switches or midspan injectors

• Input voltage: 100–240 V
• Colour: Grey
• Weight: 0.2 kg

How to use

Install the converter near the fiber or Ethernet endpoint. Connect the single-mode SC fiber cable to the SC port on the converter and the other end to a compatible fiber device. Plug an Ethernet cable into the RJ45 port and connect it to the network device. Apply power using the specified 100–240 V input. Verify link and activity LEDs to confirm a successful connection and correct data flow.

Recommendations

Use single-mode SC fiber of appropriate quality and connectors for the 20 km span, and ensure PoE requirements are met by the connected switch or injector. Place the converter in a dry, ventilated location away from direct heat sources to maintain reliable operation.
