KTI Networks KGC-310M Ver. C Gigabit multimode–singlemode-mediakonvertteri

Fibre optic networks often hit a wall when multimode cabling needs to reach beyond its 550-metre limit or connect to single-mode infrastructure. The KTI Networks KGC-310M Ver. C solves this by converting 1000Base-SX multimode signals to 1000Base-LX single-mode, extending links up to 10 km over single-mode fibre.

Who is it for

Network administrators and integrators who must bridge multimode and single-mode fibre segments in campus or enterprise environments. It suits installations where existing multimode runs must connect to long-distance single-mode backbones without replacing cabling.

Main features

• Converts Gigabit Ethernet between multimode (1000Base-SX) and single-mode (1000Base-LX) fibre
• Supports distances up to 550 m on multimode and 10 km on single-mode
• Uses SC connectors on both fibre ports
• Operates at 1310 nm wavelength
• Full-duplex transmission compliant with IEEE 802.3z
• Metal housing for durability
• LED indicators for power and link/activity on each fibre port
• External DC power adapter (adapter included per supplier listing)

Tips

Verify that your multimode and single-mode fibre cables have SC connectors or use appropriate patch cables. This converter is a standalone desktop unit; for rack installations, use a shelf or bracket. Ensure the external power adapter is connected to a stable power source.
