Mediamuunnin LevelOne GVT-1001 erittäin ohut RJ45–SFP

The LevelOne GVT-1001 Ultra-Slim RJ45 to SFP media converter provides a compact, lightweight solution for converting 10/100/1000Base-T copper Ethernet to 1000Base-X fiber. Designed for environments where size, weight and low power consumption matter, the GVT-1001 supports Gigabit connectivity with SFP fiber modules and complies with IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.3z standards. Its ultra-slim housing and 56 g weight make it easy to carry in a laptop bag or install in constrained spaces.

Advantages

The media converter offers USB-powered operation from a computer USB 1.0/2.0 port for deployments without a spare power outlet, and can also be used with an optional USB power adapter for mains-powered use. It supports jumbo frames up to 10 KB, includes a watchdog function that can automatically reboot the device if it becomes unresponsive, and provides LED indicators for link and activity status. Low power consumption (approx. 1.2 W) and an MTBF of 100,000 hours contribute to reliable continuous operation.

Suitable for

• Temporary fiber connections to laptops or PCs where local power is not available
• Compact workstation or lab environments requiring Gigabit SFP connectivity
• Field or mobile deployments that need a lightweight, portable media converter

Key specifications

• Maximum data transfer rate: 1000 Mbit/s
• Ethernet LAN (RJ-45) ports: 1 (10/100/1000Base-T)
• Fiber ports: 1 (1000Base-X via SFP)
• Jumbo frame support: up to 10 KB
• Power: USB 1.0/2.0 powered or optional USB power adapter; typical consumption 1.2 W
• Weight: 0.056 kg
• Standards: IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3z

How to use

Connect an Ethernet cable from your device to the RJ45 port and insert a compatible SFP module into the SFP slot before connecting the fiber cable. For USB-powered operation, plug the converter into a computer's USB 1.0 or 2.0 port; the device will power on with the host and power down when the host shuts off. If using the USB power adapter, connect the adapter to a mains outlet and then to the converter. Observe the LED indicators to verify link and activity status and ensure the SFP module and fiber type match network requirements.

Recommendations

Use certified SFP modules compatible with 1000Base-X and match single-mode or multi-mode fiber types as required. Avoid exposing the unit to moisture or extreme temperatures and use the optional USB power adapter for stable, long-term installations where host USB power may be interrupted.
