HTB-1100S Mini Media Converter – 1x RJ45 to 1x Single Mode SC/FC/ST Dual Fiber, 10/100Mbps

The HTB-1100S Mini Media Converter series provides compact, trustworthy alternatives to extending your network reach. It conveys Ethernet signals over dual optical fiber with BYXGD devices. This lineup combines the best of two worlds – short-haul Multi-mode and long-range Single-mode. Utilizing advanced engineering standards, these are ideal for Surveillance (Enterprise) as well as Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) networks. The rugged construction is appreciated as users need to operate in real-world environments.

Models, Distances, and Fiber Types

There are seven versions in the series for short, medium, and long-range along with Multi-mode fiber (850/1310nm) and Single-mode fiber (1310/1550nm). The HTB-1100S-25KM model allows for quick 25-kilometer distances utilizing Single-mode fiber. It can transmit up to 120KM with Single-mode fiber. All units feature a full metal casing, consume minimal power, and are designed for quick setup (no software needed).

Design, Reliability, and Installation

Overall construction quality is consistent amongst all models. They operate from -30°C to +70°C continuously with minimal stopping using ventilation ports. Converters utilize the highest performance chips with ceramic core optical modules, which reduce latencies and power usage while providing better matches for devices. The series has a surge protection circuit to prevent overvoltage conditions. A CPU monitoring circuit will notify users of potential problems. In summary, there is no video drop-out or data loss.

Selecting a converter is easy if you plug in the fiber and the RJ45 connectors (no software required). A series of six LEDs provide complete information: FX, Link, and PWR for link status and data flows, respectively. The remaining LEDs monitor Duplex/Speeds, as well as Basic Devices’ Health Indicators. All information provided via the LED lights allows for faster checks and verification of linked pairs exceeding 100 meters of copper cabling. Therefore, the common interconnection pattern is: Camera > Switches > Fiber > Recorders/Servers.

Applications and Use Cases

These converters may be utilized for a variety of applications. An example is as remote video or data transport back to a control room for real-time monitoring of security. Other applications include Smart Cities and Smart Grids, continuous transmission of data, and facilities such as tracks, factories, resorts, and schools benefiting from secure long-range links, etc. Units adapt to all equipment, including older equipment operating at 10 and 100Mbps. Additionally, they are also capable of handling Jumbo Frame-sized packets effectively.

Specifications

Many types of fiber optics have a variety of uses. Choose the 850nm multi-mode for short runs up to 2km. For long ranges, use single-mode: 1310nm for maximum distances of 60km and 1550nm for longer distances. Many of the other installations will use SC, FC, and ST connector types. The power consumption is low (DC5V/1A). The temperature range of operation includes extreme temperatures. All models will operate at 10/100Mbps and contain one optical and one RJ45 port. The overall size is 95mm x 70mm x 25mm and weighs 0.5kg.

Packaging, Quality, and Field Performance

Packaging protects the products well. Each box contains one unit of the product, along with a power cable, user manual, certificate of quality, and carton. By selling individual units, orders can be simplified. Size: 23cm x 12cm x 5cm for each box.

The manufacturing process builds confidence. Companies perform hundreds of material testing processes. There are very specific requirements for the parts to ensure long-term durability. The quality of the manufacturing process is evenly maintained through the use of machines. Additionally, each unit is subjected to 18 tests, including checking data flow, temperature cycling, and visual inspection of the optical waveforms. The results are consistently solid.

Real-world examples support the quality of the products. A 20km campus network performs flawlessly, even in climatic extremes, with 50 cameras throughout the campus. With full metal enclosures and air ventilation integrated into the design, this technology maintains the performance specifications.

Operation Flexibility

The versatility of this technology is unmatched. The end user can easily connect a unit to a management or link-switching device by creating distance using a single fiber optic cable. Through the use of the six LEDs, the user can quickly determine if a cable failure has occurred, as one LED is dark and indicates to the user to replace the fiber optic cable. If both LEDs are dark (the fiber cable is not transmitting), the fiber optic cable should be changed to resume use.

Optional accessories can further enhance the technology. The use of Jumbo Frames is excellent for transmitting larger amounts of data. The low latency is ideal for either voice calls or video streaming. The fiber optic transceiver is duplexed, allowing the use of both transmit and receive simultaneously, with minimal load. This size device can be used in a standard rack or mounted on a wall.

From short-range to ultra-long-distance connections, the series provides a solution for all telecommunications needs. The specifications, durability, and simplicity make it an absolute necessity. Connect with confidence and extend as needed.
