The Bosch fiber optic Media Converter series are designed to transmit 10/100 Mbps Ethernet signals over fiber optic cable using Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) modules. These fiber optic media converter devices can be used to transmit Ethernet data well beyond the 100 m limit of copper-based media and provides a secure, EMI/RFI free transmission path.
The media converter units are designed to accept 10/100 Mbps SFP modules. The SFP modules are ordered separately to meet user requirements for mode type, distance and type of optical connector. Available offerings include multi-mode fiber (MMF) or single-mode fiber (SMF) models with a single SC connector or dual-fiber with an LC connector.
System overview | VG4-SFPSCKT
The VG4-SFPSCKT is a unique media converter module for use with VG4 series AUTODOME cameras incorporating the Ethernet (TCP/IP) Communications Module, as well as with MIC Series 550, 550IR, and 612 cameras and the FLEXIDOME IP starlight 8000i cameras. This media converter module is designed to accept any of the 10/100 Mbps SFP modules described below.
The media converter module along with the SFP module is user installed directly into the power supply box of the AUTODOME camera, FLEXIDOME camera or of the MIC camera to provide an integrated fiber optic solution. Refer to the Installation Guide that accompanies the VG4-SFPSCKT for detailed installation instructions.
Media converter device (CNFE2MC/IN)
The media converter device (CNFE2MC/IN) is designed to transmit and receive 10/100 Mbps Ethernet data over optical fiber using SFP modules. This head-end device is supplied in an enclosure that can be surface mounted or rack mounted using the optional C1-IN rack mount card cage. The unit does not require in-field adjustments, and provides automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover.
SFP Modules
The selection of Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) modules provides the fast Ethernet optical interface when using the VG4-SFPSCKT or the CNFE2MC/IN media converters. These interchangeable SFP modules are available for use with MMF or SMF optical fiber. The optical fiber SFP modules are available as one and two fiber versions. They also are available with LC or SC optical connectors.
