Network Media Converter BlueOptics BLMC004 1000 Mbit/s Single-mode Black

The BlueOptics BLMC004 is a single-mode network media converter designed for converting between Gigabit Ethernet and SFP fiber links. Supporting a maximum data transfer rate of 1000 Mbit/s, the unit enables long-distance wired connectivity over single-mode fiber up to 160,000 meters. Housed in a compact black enclosure, the device is suited for integration into network segments where a small footprint and reliable fiber conversion are required.

Advantages

The media converter provides transparent Gigabit Ethernet to SFP single-mode conversion with minimal configuration, enabling straightforward extension of copper networks over fiber. Its support for 1000 Mbit/s throughput and SFP fiber optic connectors allows flexible selection of compatible transceivers and long-reach transmission. The compact black design conserves rack or shelf space while maintaining stable physical connections for wired infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Extending Gigabit Ethernet links over long single-mode fiber runs
• Connecting network equipment with SFP interfaces to copper Ethernet switches
• Point-to-point backbone links between buildings or data closets
• Environments requiring a small-form-factor fiber-to-Ethernet conversion

How to use

Install the BlueOptics BLMC004 in a suitable location with proper ventilation and stable power. Insert compatible SFP transceivers into the SFP slot(s) and connect the single-mode fiber cables according to standard fiber handling practices. Connect the Gigabit Ethernet port to a switch, router, or endpoint device using standard Ethernet cabling. Once physical connections are in place, verify link LEDs and network settings on connected equipment; the unit operates as a media converter and typically requires no additional configuration.

Recommendations

Use single-mode SFP transceivers that match the optical budget and wavelength requirements of your fiber link. Keep connectors clean and protected, follow bending radius guidelines for single-mode fiber, and verify transceiver compatibility with Gigabit Ethernet equipment to ensure reliable transmission over the specified distances.
