FAQs
What is the difference between 1000Base-T and 1000Base-SX?
1000Base-T is Gigabit Ethernet over copper twisted-pair cabling (standard network cables), while 1000Base-SX is Gigabit Ethernet over multimode fibre-optic cable. The GCR2000SC converts between these two technologies.
Can the GCR2000SC be installed in a rackmount chassis?
Yes, the GCR2000SC can be installed in an Alloy DCR12 Series Media Converter Chassis for rackmount deployment, or operated as a standalone unit depending on your network layout.
What is the maximum fibre cable distance supported?
The GCR2000SC supports fibre cable runs up to 550 metres, allowing network extension across larger campuses and distributed facilities.
What type of fibre connector does it use?
The GCR2000SC uses SC connectors on the 1000Base-SX multimode fibre port, a standard connection type widely available in the industry.
Is a warranty included with the GCR2000SC?
Yes, the GCR2000SC includes a 36-month manufacturer warranty covering defects and failures.
What are typical use cases for this media converter?
Common applications include extending networks beyond copper cable limits, connecting office buildings via fibre backbones, deploying in data centres, and providing electromagnetic interference immunity in industrial environments.
