Fiber optic media converter CBO E1MG-LX-A-BO 1250 Mbit/s, LC connector, 10 000 m reach

CBO E1MG-LX-A-BO is a fiber optic media converter designed to convert 1000BASE-T Ethernet signals to 1000BASE-LX singlemode fiber and support a data rate of 1250 Mbit/s. The device uses an LC optical connector and provides a transmission reach of up to 10 000 m, enabling long-distance links between network segments. It is intended for installation in backbone links, building-to-building connections and environments where reliable singlemode fiber extension is required.

Advantages

The media converter supports Gigabit-level throughput and long reach over singlemode fiber up to 10 km, reducing the need for intermediate active equipment. Its LC connector format ensures compatibility with standard singlemode patch cables and fiber panels. The compact design and straightforward fiber-to-copper conversion simplify integration into existing networks while maintaining signal integrity across extended distances.

Suitable for

• Backbone Ethernet links over singlemode fiber
• Long-distance connectivity between buildings or campus sites
• Industrial networks requiring fiber extension and electrical isolation
• Integration with fiber distribution panels and rack systems

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1250 Mbit/s
• Fiber type: singlemode
• Optical connector: LC
• Maximum reach: up to 10 000 m (10 km)
• Media conversion: copper Ethernet to fiber optic
• Supported Ethernet standard: Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-LX/T compatible)

How to use

Install the media converter in a suitable environment with proper ventilation and mount it according to the site layout. Connect the copper Ethernet port to the local switch or device using a standard Ethernet cable and connect the LC singlemode fiber cable to the fiber port. Ensure proper fiber polarity and clean connector end-faces before mating. Power the unit and verify link/activity LEDs to confirm successful link establishment and data transmission across the fiber link.

Recommendations

For reliable long-distance performance, use singlemode fiber patch cords with matching LC connectors and maintain clean connector end-faces. Verify fiber type and attenuation budget for the planned link length and use fiber testing tools to confirm signal quality after installation.
