Transition SVIDF2012-100 Coaxial Fiber BNC ST Coaxial Media Converter

Product Description

The Transition SVIDF2012-100 media converter is designed to interface coaxial-based systems with fiber optic networks. It specifically bridges the gap between a BNC connector, commonly used for coaxial cable in video and older data transmission systems, and an ST duplex connector, a standard for multimode fiber optic connections. This allows for the transmission of signals, typically video or data, over longer distances using the immunity and bandwidth advantages of fiber optics. The converter supports transmission over coaxial cable up to a standard distance of 100 meters. When converting to fiber, it utilizes multimode fiber optic cable with ST connectors. The exact fiber optic transmission distance is not explicitly stated in the title but is generally significantly longer than coaxial, often several kilometers depending on the fiber type and specific converter specifications. The ST connector is a bayonet-style connector known for its ease of use and secure connection. This type of media converter is valuable in applications such as CCTV surveillance systems, broadcast video distribution, or industrial data acquisition where signals originate from or need to terminate at devices with BNC connectors but require transmission over fiber for distance or noise immunity. The SVIDF2012-100 includes status LEDs for monitoring the connection and requires an external power supply for operation.
