Overview
- The Alloy GCR2000SC.10 is a versatile Gigabit Ethernet media converter that bridges copper and singlemode fibre networks. Its dual-purpose design allows operation as a standalone device or as a module within an Alloy DCR12 Series chassis, making it ideal for organisations requiring flexible network architecture options.
The converter features a 1000Base-T RJ-45 port supporting standard Ethernet copper links up to 100 metres, and a 1000Base-LX singlemode SC port extending connectivity to 10 kilometres over fibre. This combination makes it suitable for organisations connecting office networks to remote data centres or branch offices across longer distances.
Built with a compact, rugged all-metal case, the GCR2000SC.10 integrates seamlessly into existing infrastructure. Support for Link Fault Passthrough ensures network reliability by maintaining fault detection across the conversion point. Whether deployed as a discrete device or as part of a larger chassis system, it provides a cost-effective solution for gigabit-speed media conversion.
