LevelOne RJ45 to SC Fast Ethernet Media Converter, Single-Mode Fiber, 1550nm, 120km

The LevelOne FVT-1106 SMF SC media converter converts network signals between copper Ethernet and single-mode fiber-optic networks. It includes a 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 port with auto-sensing for 10Base-T and 100Base-TX and supports both full-duplex and half-duplex operation. When used with single-mode fiber, the converter enables network extension up to 120 km. The unit can operate standalone or be installed as a slide-in module in the CHV-2000 19" Converter Chassis for centralized mounting.

Advantages

The FVT-1106 provides reliable copper-to-fiber conversion to extend network reach without changing existing Ethernet equipment. Auto-sensing simplifies integration with mixed 10/100 devices, and support for full and half duplex modes ensures compatibility with older and newer switches. Compatibility with the CHV-2000 chassis enables consolidated installation of multiple converters for easier cable management and maintenance.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect the RJ-45 Ethernet cable from your copper network device to the 10/100Base-TX port on the converter, and connect single-mode fiber to the SC fiber port. Power the unit and verify link/activity LEDs to confirm connection. The device will auto-sense 10/100 speed and negotiate duplex with the connected switch or NIC. For rack installation, slide the unit into an available slot in the CHV-2000 chassis and secure according to the chassis instructions.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber with appropriate quality and connectors to achieve the stated 120 km reach; ensure proper testing and end-to-end link verification after installation. When deploying multiple converters, consider using the CHV-2000 chassis to centralize power and simplify cabling.
