Network Media Converter Cudy MC100GSB-60A 1000 Mbit/s Multi-mode Single-mode Black

The Cudy MC100GSB-60A Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter WDM BiDi is a wired network device that converts between copper Ethernet and single-fiber or multi-mode fiber connections. Supporting data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and featuring an SC fiber connector, the converter enables long-distance links up to 40,000 m. A and B BiDi variants are intended for pair use to establish single-fiber bidirectional connections between buildings or industrial control points.

Advantages

The media converter supports Gigabit speeds (10/100/1000 Mbps) and both multi-mode and single-mode fiber, allowing flexible deployment in mixed-fiber environments. With a single SC fiber port and an RJ-45 Ethernet port, it reduces cabling complexity for long-distance connections. The device is compact and designed for reliable wired connectivity over distances up to 40 km when used with appropriate fiber and paired A/B units.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting separate buildings or campus networks over fiber
• Long-distance industrial control and monitoring links
• Extending Ethernet networks where only single-fiber is available
• Integrating copper-based devices into fiber backbone networks

How to use

Install one Cudy MC100GSB-60A unit at each end of the fiber link, ensuring you use the A and B BiDi variants as a matched pair. Connect the RJ-45 port to the copper Ethernet device or switch and the SC fiber connector to the single-fiber link. Power the units and verify link/activity LEDs to confirm the connection. Use appropriate single-mode or multi-mode fiber cable and ensure connectors are clean for optimal performance.

Recommendations

The converter should be used in matched A/B pairs and with compatible fiber type (single-mode or multi-mode) to reach the specified maximum distance. Maintain clean SC connectors and follow standard fiber handling practices. For installations approaching the 40,000 m range, verify fiber attenuation and connector quality to ensure reliable Gigabit throughput.
