Media Converter VIDOS K-IP-2 2IP (MPN 51746) for Ethernet over Fiber

The VIDOS K-IP-2 2IP media converter converts standard Ethernet signals for reliable transmission over fiber-optic links. Designed to integrate IP devices into fiber networks, this media converter enables copper-to-fiber conversion for single or small installations where increased range and improved electromagnetic immunity are required. It supports typical Ethernet connectivity and is suitable for CCTV cameras, access control units and other IP devices that require stable, long-distance network links.

Advantages

The unit provides a compact and straightforward solution for extending Ethernet networks over optical fiber, reducing signal loss and susceptibility to electromagnetic interference. Its design focuses on easy integration with existing IP equipment and straightforward installation in structured cabling systems. By converting copper Ethernet to fiber, it helps maintain link performance over longer distances and in environments with high electrical noise.

Suitable for

• Extending Ethernet networks between buildings or remote locations
• Connecting IP CCTV cameras over long distances
• Linking access control panels and readers to central controllers
• Replacing copper runs in environments with electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Function: copper-to-fiber Ethernet media conversion
• Supported signals: standard Ethernet frames (10/100 Mbps where applicable)
• Interface types: RJ45 Ethernet port and optical fiber port for singlemode/multimode (type depends on installed transceiver)
• Transmission medium: optical fiber for extended-range links
• Typical use cases: CCTV, access control, network extension
• Form factor: compact standalone converter suitable for mounting in small enclosures or on DIN rail with adapter (depending on installation accessories)

How to use

Install the converter near the copper Ethernet device and terminate the fiber link at the optical port. Connect the Ethernet device to the RJ45 port using standard network cabling, and attach the fiber optic cable to the fiber port using the correct connector type. Ensure proper power supply according to the device’s requirements and verify link LEDs or status indicators to confirm connectivity. Use appropriate fiber transceivers or modules if the converter model requires separate SFP/optical modules.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, match fiber type and connector standards at both ends of the link, verify compatibility with connected IP devices, and follow best practices for fiber handling and installation. In CCTV and access control deployments, test end-to-end connectivity and power sequencing before finalizing mounting and cable routing.
