LTS Industrial Gigabit Fiber to Ethernet Media Converter (LT-MC)

LTS Industrial Gigabit Fiber to Ethernet Media Converter (LT-MC)

The LTS LT-MC is a ruggedised, SFP-based media converter built to bridge fibre-optic backbone links with standard copper Ethernet networks. Designed for industrial and outdoor-adjacent deployments, it extends network reach for IP cameras, NVRs, switches and other Ethernet devices where fibre infrastructure is already in place, while maintaining full Gigabit throughput and strong resilience against temperature extremes and electrical surges.

Key Features

• Gigabit Ethernet Port: One 10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 port supporting standard copper cable runs up to 100m.
• SFP Optical Slot: Accepts industry-standard SFP modules with up to 1.25Gbps optical bandwidth, letting installers choose the transceiver that matches their required fibre distance and connector type.
• Flexible Fibre Reach: Optical transmission distance is determined by the installed SFP module, allowing short local links or long-haul backbone runs from the same converter unit.
• Standards Compliant: Built to 1000Base-X and IEEE 802.3x specifications for reliable interoperability with existing network gear.
• Industrial Surge Protection: Rated for 6kV surge immunity, helping protect connected network equipment from lightning-induced and electrical transients common in outdoor or exposed installations.
• Extreme Temperature Tolerance: Operates reliably across a wide -40°C to 75°C range, suitable for uninsulated cabinets, rooftops, or remote infrastructure sites.
• Compact Footprint: Small enclosure measuring approximately 103 x 82 x 25mm, easy to fit inside equipment cabinets, junction boxes, or DIN-rail enclosures.
• Plug-and-Play Operation: Functions as an unmanaged converter with no configuration required, simplifying installation and reducing setup time.

Typical Applications

The LT-MC is well suited to security and networking installers who need to connect fibre-optic runs to copper-based CCTV cameras, NVRs, PoE switches or access control devices, particularly in industrial, perimeter, or outdoor environments where standard indoor-rated converters would not survive. It is commonly used at the fibre-to-copper handoff point near a camera cluster, remote building, or distribution cabinet, letting installers run long fibre backbones between sites while keeping the final device connections on familiar Ethernet cabling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the LT-MC include an SFP transceiver module?
The converter provides an SFP slot rated to 1.25Gbps; the specific SFP module (and therefore the exact fibre distance and connector type) is selected and fitted separately to match your fibre run.

Can the LT-MC be used outdoors?
Its wide -40°C to 75°C operating range and 6kV surge immunity make it suitable for exposed cabinets and harsh environments, though it should still be housed in a weatherproof enclosure for direct outdoor exposure.

What is the maximum copper cable length supported?
The Gigabit RJ45 port supports standard Ethernet cable runs of up to 100m, in line with typical 10/100/1000Mbps copper networking limits.
