Fiber optic media converter CBO USFP-GB-S32-DL-BO — 1000 Mbit/s, 10 000 m reach

CBO USFP-GB-S32-DL-BO is a fiber optic media converter designed to extend Gigabit Ethernet links over single-mode fiber with a maximum reach of 10,000 meters. The device converts electrical Ethernet signals to optical signals and vice versa, allowing standard 1000 Mbit/s Ethernet equipment—such as switches, routers and cameras—to be connected across long-distance fiber segments. Its compact form factor and single-mode fiber support make it suitable for installations where reliable, low-latency gigabit transport is required between buildings, remote sites or across campus networks.

Advantages

The media converter supports full Gigabit Ethernet throughput and single-mode fiber transmission up to 10 km, ensuring high-bandwidth connectivity for backbone links and long-distance extensions. It provides transparent signal conversion without protocol changes, preserving existing network configurations and VLAN tagging. The compact design simplifies deployment in rack, wall or DIN-rail mounted enclosures and reduces the need for costly fiber-capable switches at every location. Passive operation and low power requirements help maintain energy-efficient installations.

Suitable for

• Extending Ethernet links between buildings and across campuses
• Connecting remote CCTV cameras and video management systems
• Linking industrial equipment and PLCs over long-distance fiber
• Creating long-reach uplinks between switches and routers

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Optical mode: single-mode fiber
• Maximum link distance: up to 10,000 meters (10 km)
• Interface types: electrical Ethernet port and optical SFP port (accepts suitable single-mode SFP modules)
• Transmission: transparent layer 1 media conversion
• Form factor: compact standalone converter suitable for various mounting options

How to use

Install the converter near the Ethernet device or in a network distribution point and connect the electrical Ethernet port to the local switch, router or camera using a standard Cat5e/6 cable. Insert an appropriate single-mode SFP module into the optical port if required and connect the single-mode fiber cable to the SFP. Power the unit according to the manufacturer’s power input specification and verify link LEDs to confirm optical and electrical connectivity. No additional configuration is typically required; the device operates at layer 1 and forwards traffic transparently while preserving VLAN tags and MAC addresses.

Usage recommendations

To ensure optimal performance over long-distance fiber, use certified single-mode SFP modules and high-quality single-mode fiber with proper connectors and attenuation levels. Verify fiber link budgets and perform end-to-end testing after installation. For critical deployments, consider redundant links or monitoring solutions to detect faults promptly.
