Verkkokeskitin BlueOptics BLMC003 1000 Mbit/s yksimuotokuitu musta

The BlueOptics BLMC003 network media converter enables conversion between copper Ethernet and single-mode fiber networks at gigabit speeds. Designed for wired connectivity, this compact black device supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1000 Mbit/s and uses SFP fiber connectors to link to long-distance single-mode fiber runs. With Gigabit Ethernet on the copper side and support for 1000/100/10 Mbps Ethernet data rates, the converter integrates into existing LAN infrastructure to extend network segments over fiber up to 160000 m.

Advantages

The BlueOptics BLMC003 provides a simple and passive solution for extending network reach while preserving gigabit performance. Its SFP-based fiber interface offers flexibility to use compatible transceivers for different fiber types and wavelengths. The dual-port arrangement for both Ethernet and fiber ensures straightforward connectivity without additional configuration, and the compact black enclosure supports space-efficient installation in wiring closets or near endpoint devices.

Suitable for

• Extending LAN segments over single-mode fiber for campus or metropolitan links
• Connecting remote buildings, data closets, or outdoor cabinets to central switches
• Integrating fiber backbone into existing copper-based network infrastructure
• Use in wiring rooms, network closets, and small server racks where space is limited

How to use

Install the BlueOptics BLMC003 by placing it in a dry, ventilated location near existing copper or fiber cabling. Insert compatible SFP transceivers into the fiber ports and connect single-mode fiber patch cords to the transceivers. Connect the RJ-45 Ethernet ports to network devices or switches using standard Ethernet cables. Power the device according to the accompanying power supply instructions and verify link/activity LEDs or system indicators to confirm connectivity. No advanced configuration is required for basic media conversion; the device performs protocol-agnostic layer conversion between copper Ethernet and single-mode fiber.

Recommendations

Choose SFP transceivers that match the fiber type and required wavelength, and use certified single-mode fiber cables to achieve the specified maximum distances. Ensure proper grounding and surge protection for long-distance outdoor or campus links, and place the converter in a dust-free, ventilated cabinet to maintain reliable operation.
