Vigitron has introduced the Vi50101 Mini Fiber Media Converter, a compact solution designed to expand fiber connectivity with ease.

Vi50101

With increasing bandwidth demands from high-megapixel and multi-sensory cameras, fiber usage is rapidly growing, particularly for long-distance transmissions, the company claims.

However, many network switches have limited fiber ports, creating expansion challenges.

The Vi50101 addresses this by converting fiber to UTP, allowing seamless fiber port expansion without the need to replace existing equipment.

The Vi50101 is a plug-and-play solution for expanding fiber networks without additional power requirements.

Supporting up to 1G Ethernet speeds and transmission distances of up to 80 km, it is ideal for security and industrial applications.

PoE

Powered by PoE, the ViSO101 eliminates the need for external power adapters, simplifying installation.

Its compact design allows for flexible placement, whether in-line, wall-mounted or on a DIN rail.

The company highlights that this makes it a versatile choice for a wide range of network environments.

Key features

The company states that the main features of the solution are:

• SFP standard – Compliant with standard Small Format Pluggable (SFP) fiber converters
• PoE-powered – No external power needed, works directly with PoE from switches
• Long-distance transmission – Extends fiber connectivity up to 80 km
