Lanview LVN-MED-SC-1000BASE-X-2 network media converter

The Lanview LVN-MED-SC-1000BASE-X-2 is a network media converter that converts 1000BASE-SX/LX/LH/EX/ZX fiber links to 10/100/1000Base-T copper and vice versa, providing a cost-effective solution for connecting fiber optic and Ethernet copper networks. It features an SC fiber connector (other models may use FC or ST) and an RJ45 port for UTP twisted-pair connections, and supports link extension over fiber up to 20 km.

Advantages

This media converter supports multiple gigabit fiber standards and auto-negotiation on the copper port to simplify integration with existing network equipment. Its single-fiber connector design and RJ45 copper interface enable straightforward media conversion without requiring additional transceivers. The device offers predictable point-to-point extension over fiber up to 20 km, reducing the need for intermediate switches or repeaters.

Suitable for

• Extending gigabit Ethernet over fiber between buildings or floors
• Connecting fiber backbone to copper access switches or servers
• Upgrading copper links to fiber for improved distance and noise immunity

How to use

Connect the appropriate fiber cable to the SC fiber port and an Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port on the converter. Power the unit according to the manufacturer's instructions and verify link LEDs on both the fiber and copper ends. Configure connected network devices (switches, routers, servers) for matching link speed and duplex settings if auto-negotiation is not used. For fiber distances approaching the 20 km limit, confirm fiber type and transceiver standard (LX/EX/ZX) match at both ends.

Recommendations

Install the media converter in a dry, ventilated location and use quality SC fiber connectors and UTP cables. Verify compatibility of fiber transceiver types (SX/LX/LH/EX/ZX) with remote equipment and test end-to-end link performance after installation to ensure stable gigabit connectivity.
