Pelco FMCI-BF1SM1ST Single-Mode Fiber Media Converter B, 1-Fiber ST
Description
Pelco FMCI-BF1SM1ST Single-Mode Fiber Media Converter B, 1-Fiber ST
The Pelco FMCI-BF1SM1ST is a standard-size 10/100 Mbps Ethernet fiber media converter that sends Ethernet over one single-mode fiber with an ST connector. It is the compatible receiver (B) unit of a matched pair: install it at one end of the fiber and the FMCI-AF1SM1ST at the other, and the two units carry full-duplex Fast Ethernet over one fiber using 1310/1550 nm wavelengths for runs up to 20 km (12 mi). The RJ-45 port autonegotiates 10 or 100 Mbps with automatic MDI/MDI-X, so IP cameras and network gear connect without adjustment. It runs on 8 to 24 VDC and can be surface mounted or slid into a USRACK card cage as a hot-swappable single-slot module.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Pelco FMCI-BF1SM1ST
What does the FMCI-BF1SM1ST pair with?
It is the b end (compatible receiver) and must be paired with the FMCI-AF1SM1ST at the other end of the fiber. A and B units use opposite wavelengths on the same fiber.
What fiber and connector does it use?
One 9/125 um single-mode fiber with an ST connector. Maximum distance is 20 km (12 mi) with a 15 dB optical power budget.
What data rates does it support?
The RJ-45 port autonegotiates 10 or 100 Mbps, full or half duplex. The optical link runs at 100 Mbps full duplex.
How is it powered?
It accepts 8 to 24 VDC through a terminal block, or takes power from the USRACK card cage when rack mounted. A power supply is not included.
Can it be rack mounted?
Yes. It occupies one slot in the Pelco USRACK card cage and is hot-swappable, or it can be surface mounted or DIN rail mounted with an adapter plate.
Is it rated for harsh environments?
Yes. It operates from -40 to 75 C and is designed to meet NEMA TS 1/TS 2 and Caltrans traffic signal equipment environmental standards.
