Ethernet to Fiber-Optic Interface Requirements
In cases of camera-to-PC separations of more than 100 meters but an Ethernet switch is not desired, a
fiber-optic media converter can be used. The FlexPoint GX from Omnitron Systems
(
http://www.omnitron-systems.com/) converts GigE to fiber transmission and vice versa. It supports
multimode (MM) fiber over distances of up to 220 m (720 ft.) and single-mode (SM) fiber up to 65 km
(40 mi.) with SC, MT-RJ, or LC connector types.
Important: The inclusion in this manual of GigE to fiber-optic converters does not guarantee they
will meet specific application requirements or performance. The user must evaluate any supplemental
Ethernet equipment.
