Sieťový mediakonvertor BlueOptics BLMC001 1000 Mbit/s čierny

The BlueOptics BLMC001 1000 Mbit/s Black is a compact network media converter designed to bridge copper Ethernet and fiber-optic networks. It provides one 10/100/1000 RJ-45 port and one SFP slot for fiber transceivers, supporting data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s. The unit supports both multi‑mode and single‑mode SFP modules and is intended for extending network reach, integrating fiber into existing copper infrastructure, or enabling long-distance links where copper cabling is impractical.

Advantages

The media converter converts electrical Ethernet signals to optical signals and vice versa, allowing seamless integration of copper and fiber segments. It features auto-negotiation and auto-MDIX on the copper port to simplify connection setup, and supports a wide range of SFP transceiver types for flexible deployment across multimode and single-mode fiber. Additional functions include link pass-through and fiber fault alert to improve link monitoring and a remote loopback on the fiber interface for troubleshooting.

Suitable for

• Extending Ethernet networks over long distances using fiber
• Connecting switches or routers with SFP fiber modules to copper-based devices
• Upgrading parts of a network to fiber while retaining existing copper cabling
• Unmanaged environments where simple, plug-and-play media conversion is required

Key specifications

• Maximum data transfer rate: 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Ports: 1 × 10/100/1000 RJ-45 Ethernet
• Fiber interface: 1 × SFP slot (supports duplex or simplex SFP transceivers)
• Supported fiber types: multimode and single-mode (dependent on SFP module)
• Auto-negotiation and Auto-MDIX on copper port
• Link pass-through and fiber fault alert functions
• Remote loopback support on the fiber interface
• Product colour: Black

How to use

Install an appropriate SFP transceiver into the SFP slot according to the desired fiber type and distance, then connect fiber patch cables to the transceiver. Use a Cat5e or better RJ-45 cable to connect the copper Ethernet port to a switch, router, or endpoint; the copper port supports up to 100 meters on suitable cabling. The device will automatically negotiate link speed and configure the copper interface. Provide power according to the product manual and observe ESD precautions when handling SFP transceivers to avoid damage.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use certified SFP modules compatible with the chosen fiber type and follow the installation precautions in the manual. Ensure proper ESD protection when inserting or removing transceivers, keep fiber connectors clean, and verify link status indicators during setup. For long single-mode links, select SFP modules rated for the required distance and wavelength.
