Network Media Converter PLANET VF-101G-KIT Fiber ST Connector 20000m

The PLANET VF-101G-KIT is a video-over-fiber media converter kit designed to extend analog AHD/CVI/TVI/CVBS camera signals and RS485 data over a single fiber-optic link up to 20,000 meters. The kit contains a 1-channel Video Transmitter (VF-101G-T) and a 1-channel Video Receiver (VF-101G-R) in compact housings. It supports uncompressed digital video transmission with intelligent encoding/decoding to preserve image quality and is suitable for remote surveillance, traffic monitoring and other distributed video applications. The units are available with ST fiber connectors and can operate as standalone devices or be powered when slid into compatible PLANET media converter chassis (MC-700, MC-1500, MC-1500R).

Advantages

The VF-101G-KIT provides long-distance transmission of analog camera video and reverse RS485 asynchronous data over a single fiber, delivering stable, real-time video up to 20 km. The compact design and plug-and-play operation simplify installation, and the kit can be integrated into PLANET media converter chassis for centralized power and management. Built-in LED indicators for Link and Power help with quick status checks, and the product meets FCC and CE certifications.

Suitable for

• Long-distance CCTV and video surveillance links
• Traffic monitoring and intelligent transportation systems (ITS)
• Remote security monitoring for residential or commercial sites
• Automation and industrial control with RS485 device data return

How to use

Install the transmitter near the analog camera and connect the camera video output to the VF-101G-T video input. Connect the reverse RS485 data lines if bidirectional control is required. Terminate the fiber with ST connectors and connect the transmitter and receiver using a single-mode fiber cable up to 20 km in length. Place the VF-101G-R near the recording device or monitor and connect its video output to the DVR or display. Power each unit with a compatible DC source or slide them into a PLANET media converter chassis (MC-700, MC-1500, MC-1500R) to receive centralized power.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use single-mode fiber with appropriate ST terminations and a certified fiber link tested for attenuation. When deploying multiple converters, consider using the compatible PLANET chassis for consolidated power and easier maintenance; verify RS485 wiring and grounding to reduce interference.
