B-CF-01series media converters, designed to support all
compliant devices, extends the signal distance of a
to terminal links.
Controller
B-CF-01 series media converters allow twisted-pair copper network extension
distances up to 1524 meters (762 meters each connection on two media
converters) OR coax copper network extension distances up to 614 meters
(307 meters each connection on two media converters) AND fiber network
extension distances up to 2 kilometers on multimode fiber and up to 8
kilometers on singlemode fiber.*
B-CF-01
Provides an RJ-45 twisted-pair
connector to copper cable, a
BNC connector to coaxial cable,
and a set of RX (receive) and TX
(transmit) ST connectors to
multimode fiber-optic cable.
B-CF-01(SC)
Provides an RJ-45 twisted-pair
connector to copper cable, a BNC
connector to coaxial cable, and an
RX (receive) and TX (transmit) SC
connector to multimode fiber-optic
cable.
