xFIBER 2 60 Gigabit Media Converter Description: The xFIBER-2-60 Ethernet-to-SFP Gigabit Media Converter is designed for IP CCTV systems. Using any IEEE 802.3z-compatible SFP module, you can adapt the optical path parameters to the installation requirements (e.g., compatibility with single-mode or multimode fiber optics). The module can be powered via a screw connector or directly from a PoE switch operating in the 802.3af or PASSIVE standard. SFP modules must be purchased separately; the device is not compatible with IEEE 802.3u 100Base-FX SFP modules. Installation: Its small size allows for installation in any enclosure, but the most convenient mounting method is in dedicated ABOX series enclosures and mounting plates with system cutouts in a 10.8mm pitch. This system solution allows for vertical or horizontal installation of selected devices in any cutout part of the enclosure or mounting plate. Key features: 10/100/1000 autonegotiation on the LAN port; power supplied via a screw connector (Vin) or another 802.3af or PoE PASSIVE switch; wide input voltage range; quick and easy startup without parameter configuration; very low power consumption (1.5W); small module size; Single-mode and multi-mode fibers. Single-mode and multi-mode fibers are two different optical fibers that differ in their manufacturing technology and application. Single-mode fibers transmit a single mode of light; the signal is not dispersed (no intermodal dispersion). The data stream is transmitted parallel to the axis and reaches the end of the fiber in a single mode without reflections. The fiber diameter is 5 to 10 microns, and the light source is a laser. This type of fiber is suitable for long-distance fiber optic telecommunications, as the signal can be transmitted without amplification over distances of up to 100 km. Multimode fiber is an optical fiber that allows for the propagation of multiple light modes of different wavelengths. As multiple light modes propagate within the fiber, modal dispersion, or signal blurring, occurs. This phenomenon reduces the transmission speed and distance, which is significantly shorter than with single-mode fibers. When purchasing fiber, pay attention to: its type (single-mode/multi-mode fiber), diameter (usually multimode: 50/125 or 62.5/125 micrometers, while single-mode: 9/125 micrometers), and connector type (SC or ST). To ensure communication between devices over distances up to 5 km, multimode fibers should be used; they are a less expensive solution and offer comparable quality to single-mode fibers. For longer distances (over 5 km), single-mode fibers should be used. Specifications: Ports: .
