Lanview LVN-MED-SFP-1000BASE-X network media converter

The Lanview LVN-MED-SFP-1000BASE-X transceiver converts 1000BASE-SX/LX/LH/EX/ZX fiber signals to 10/100/1000Base-T copper and vice versa. It supports transmission over LC-type fiber connectors and is compatible with 850 nm multimode, 1310 nm single-mode and WDM fiber types, providing link distances up to 0.55 km for multimode and up to 100 km for single-mode links. The device is available as a standalone 1000M Ethernet unit or as a module card to facilitate integration into network equipment.

Advantages

The media converter offers straightforward media conversion between fiber and copper at gigabit speeds without requiring complex configuration. Its support for multiple 1000BASE-X variants and LC connectors ensures broad compatibility with existing fiber infrastructure. The availability in both standalone and module formats provides deployment flexibility for point-to-point links or chassis-based installations.

Suitable for

• Extending Ethernet networks over fiber between buildings or floors
• Connecting copper-based switches and servers to fiber backbones
• Integrating multimode and single-mode fiber segments
• Upgrading segments to gigabit links without replacing existing copper cabling

Key specifications

• Standards: 1000BASE-SX/LX/LH/EX/ZX to 10/100/1000Base-T
• Fiber types: 850 nm multimode, 1310 nm single-mode, WDM
• Connector: LC-type
• Maximum distance: up to 0.55 km (multimode), up to 100 km (single-mode)
• Form factor: standalone 1000M unit or module card

How to use

Install the transceiver into the appropriate module slot or use the standalone unit at the network endpoints. Connect the fiber cable with an LC connector to the transceiver and the copper Ethernet cable to the 10/100/1000Base-T port. Ensure both ends are configured for matching speeds and duplex settings where required by connected equipment; the device is designed for plug-and-play operation in most environments.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber (850 nm) for short-range links up to roughly 0.55 km and single-mode fiber (1310 nm or WDM for longer wavelengths) for long-distance links up to 100 km. Verify compatibility of transceiver wavelength and fiber type before deployment and protect fiber connectors from contamination to maintain link quality.
