LevelOne RJ45 to SC Fast Ethernet Media Converter, Single-Mode Fiber, 1310nm, 20km

The LevelOne Media Converter RJ45 to SC FVT-1102 converts network signals between copper Ethernet and single-mode fiber-optic links. It provides one 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 port and one 100Base-FX SC fiber port, supports auto-sensing for 10Base-T and 100Base-TX, and operates in half- and full-duplex modes. Designed for single-mode fiber with a 1310 nm wavelength, the converter enables network extension up to 20 km and can operate as a standalone unit or as a slide-in module for the CHV-2000 19” Converter Chassis.

Advantages

The FVT-1102 offers simple integration between copper and fiber networks with auto-negotiation for 10/100 Mbps speeds and duplex modes. Its single-mode SC fiber interface supports long-distance links up to 20 km, while compact dimensions and compatibility with the CHV-2000 chassis allow flexible deployment options in both distributed and centralized installations. The unit is FCC- and CE-certified for regulatory compliance.

Suitable for

• Extending LAN segments over long distances (up to 20 km)
• Connecting Ethernet switches, routers or servers to single-mode fiber links
• Use in central wiring closets when mounted in CHV-2000 chassis
• Standalone media conversion for small offices or branch locations

Key specifications

• Maximum data transfer rate: 100 Mbit/s
• Ethernet port: 1 × 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 (auto-sensing)
• Fiber port: 1 × 100Base-FX SC (single-mode, 1310 nm)
• Maximum transfer distance: 20,000 m (20 km)
• Duplex modes: half-duplex and full-duplex supported
• Product colour: black
• Weight: 0.2 kg

How to use

Install the FVT-1102 as a standalone device by connecting the RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the 10/100Base-TX port and the SC fiber cable to the 100Base-FX port. Ensure proper fiber polarity and use single-mode fiber at 1310 nm for distances up to 20 km. Alternatively, slide the module into a CHV-2000 19” Converter Chassis for centralized installation; follow the chassis instructions for secure mounting and power provisioning. After physical connections, verify link LEDs and network settings on connected equipment to confirm operation.

Recommendations

For reliable long-distance links, use single-mode fiber with appropriate transceivers and maintain clean SC connectors. Verify that connected devices support 10/100Base-TX auto-negotiation or set fixed speed/duplex manually if needed. When deploying multiple converters in a chassis, ensure adequate ventilation and follow the CHV-2000 power specifications.
