Conversor de Meios LevelOne RJ45 para ST Fast Ethernet, fibra multimodo, 2 km

The LevelOne FVT-2002 is a Fast Ethernet media converter that converts signals between copper (RJ-45) and multimode fiber (ST) links. It supports 10Base-T and 100Base-TX auto-sensing on the copper side and a 100Base-FX fiber port operating at 1310 nm, allowing multimode fiber connections up to 2 km to extend network reach. The compact black unit can be used standalone or as a slide-in module for the CHV-2000 19” converter chassis.

Advantages

The FVT-2002 provides both full-duplex and half-duplex operation and auto-negotiation for copper speed and duplex mode. Built-in DIP switches enable configuration of Smart LFP (Link Fault Pass-through) to monitor fiber and copper ports for signal loss and select transmission methods. Status LEDs report link and activity, and the device operates over a wide temperature range from -10 °C to 55 °C.

Suitable for

• Extending Fast Ethernet networks over multimode fiber up to 2 km
• Converting between RJ-45 copper ports and ST fiber links
• Installation as a standalone converter or as a module in a 19” CHV-2000 chassis

How to use

Connect the copper Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port and the multimode fiber to the ST connector. Configure the device using the DIP switches to enable or disable Smart LFP and set auto-negotiation or fixed transmission modes as required. Power the unit with the supplied 5 V adapter. Monitor link and activity LEDs to verify proper operation and connection status.

Recommendations

Use multimode fiber with the correct core/cladding diameter (50/125 or 62.5/125 µm) and keep runs within the specified 2 km distance for reliable performance. When deploying multiple converters, consider mounting them in the CHV-2000 19” chassis for centralized wiring and easier maintenance.
