Overview
- The Alloy GCR2000ST is a dual-purpose gigabit media converter engineered for reliable copper-to-fibre network extension. It bridges 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet copper networks to 1000Base-SX multimode fibre connectivity, enabling network reach of up to 550 metres—ideal for campus networks, building interconnects, and industrial deployments where copper cable runs are impractical.
Designed for flexibility, the GCR2000ST operates as a standalone unit or integrates into Alloy's DCR12 Series Media Converter Chassis for centralised management and hot-swap capability. This dual deployment option makes it suitable for both temporary installations and permanent infrastructure.
The converter includes Link Fault Passthrough (LFP) functionality supporting both Forced and Far-end Fault modes, ensuring network diagnostics and failover mechanisms work across the fibre segment. Its rugged all-metal chassis and simple power options (external plugpack or USB) make it reliable in demanding environments.
Backed by a 36-month warranty, the GCR2000ST is a cost-effective solution for IT professionals and integrators requiring proven, standards-compliant media conversion without complexity.

FAQs
What is the maximum fibre distance supported by the GCR2000ST?
The GCR2000ST supports a fibre range of up to 550 metres when used with multimode fibre and 1000Base-SX connectivity.
Can the GCR2000ST be used as both standalone and rackmount?
Yes. The GCR2000ST operates as a standalone unit with its own power supply, or can be installed into an Alloy DCR12 Series Media Converter Chassis for rackmount deployment with hot-swap capability.
What does Link Fault Passthrough (LFP) do?
Link Fault Passthrough (LFP) allows fault signalling across the fibre segment, supporting both Forced and Far-end Fault modes. This ensures network diagnostics and failover mechanisms function correctly across the copper and fibre connection.
How is the GCR2000ST powered?
The converter can be powered via an external plugpack or USB connection, providing flexibility for different installation environments.
What types of fibre connectors does the GCR2000ST support?
The GCR2000ST model features SC fibre connectors. Other models in the GCR2000 Series support LC connectors depending on the specific variant.
Is the GCR2000ST suitable for industrial environments?
Yes. The rugged all-metal case and durable construction make it suitable for industrial and harsh environments where standard equipment may not perform reliably.
What warranty is included with the GCR2000ST?
The GCR2000ST includes a 36-month manufacturer warranty.
