Overview
- The Alloy GCR2000LC.50 is a professional-grade Gigabit Ethernet media converter that extends network reach to 50 kilometres using single mode fibre. It bridges copper Ethernet networks to long-distance fibre infrastructure, making it ideal for connecting remote sites, data centres, and distributed facilities.
This dual-purpose converter operates as a standalone device or integrates into Alloy DCR12 media converter chassis systems for scalable network deployments. Its dual 1000Base-T ports auto-sense network speeds (10/100/1000Mbps), ensuring compatibility with legacy and modern equipment whilst maintaining line-rate performance.
The GCR2000LC.50 supports Link Fault Passthrough (LFP) with both Forced and Far-end Fault modes, providing transparent fault detection across extended fibre links. Built with a rugged all-metal case and featuring hot-swap capability, it suits demanding enterprise environments requiring reliable, maintenance-friendly infrastructure.
Backed by a 36-month warranty and offering flexible power options (external plugpack or USB), the GCR2000LC.50 delivers cost-effective long-distance Ethernet connectivity for organisations requiring resilient network solutions.

FAQs
What is the maximum fibre distance supported by the GCR2000LC.50?
The GCR2000LC.50 supports single mode fibre transmission up to 50 kilometres, making it suitable for inter-site connectivity and long-distance network extensions.
Can I use the GCR2000LC.50 in a media converter chassis?
Yes. The GCR2000LC.50 is designed for dual-purpose operation—it works as a standalone converter or can be installed into any Alloy DCR12 Series 12-slot Media Converter Chassis for scalable deployments.
What speeds does the copper port support?
The dual 1000Base-T RJ-45 ports support auto-sensing at 10Mbps, 100Mbps, and 1000Mbps, ensuring compatibility with legacy Fast Ethernet and modern Gigabit devices.
What does Link Fault Passthrough (LFP) do?
LFP detects fibre link faults and transparently passes fault information back to connected equipment using either Forced or Far-end Fault modes, enabling proactive network monitoring and fault isolation.
How is the GCR2000LC.50 powered?
The converter can be powered via an external plugpack or USB connection, providing flexibility for various deployment environments.
What copper cable types are supported?
The RJ-45 port is IEEE 802.3ab compliant and supports both UTP (unshielded twisted pair) and STP (shielded twisted pair) Ethernet cables up to 100 metres.
Is hot-swap installation supported?
Yes, when installed in an Alloy DCR12 Series Media Converter Chassis, the GCR2000LC.50 supports slide-in, hot-swap installation without disrupting other modules.
What warranty is included with the GCR2000LC.50?
The GCR2000LC.50 is backed by a 36-month manufacturer warranty, covering defects in materials and workmanship.
