10/100/1000Base-T RJ45 Ethernet (100m/328ft) to 1000Base-BX Single Fiber Media Converter (SC/ST/FC, 20km/12.4mi)
The MC-GSB11-x20x Series is a gigabit Ethernet media converter that converts 10/100/1000BASE-T copper to 1000BASE-BX single fiber. This fiber media converter uses Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology, enabling Bi-Directional (BiDi) communication over a single fiber and doubling the capacity of your existing fiber infrastructure network without installing new cabling.
The MC-GSB11-x20x series WDM media converter supports a 20km (12.4 miles) transmit distance over a single fiber at the wavelength of 1310nm-TX/1550nm-RX (MC-GSB11-A20x) or 1550nm-TX/1310nm-RX (MC-GSB11-B20x). It provides SC, ST, and FC connector options for different users. This single fiber WDM media converter is suitable for long network connectivity between servers, network switches, and other converters.
The MC-GSB11-x20x is manufactured with the latest IC packages from the USA or Taiwan and a high-quality fiber optical transceiver, which provides good electrical characteristics to ensure reliable data transmission and long working life. 6 Group LED indicated lights could fully monitor the working conditions of the media converter. It is easy for end-users to observe network operations. This WDM media converter provides external power as default. It can be as a stand-alone unit or inserted into Optcore’s low-cost 14-slot Media Converter Rack Chassis (MC-RACK-14) that allows all the media converters to be powered by a single internal power supply.

Rudy –
works good so far and prices good
Richard Tekpertey –
The 1000Base-BX 20km Single Fiber WDM Media Converter work great and has very long life span
Thanks to the team for the swift response
Edison –
No issues at all.
Diya –
Bought a pair BiDi converter and they work great.
Muskaan –
The media converter works very well and the throughput is great. we have never encountered any issues. It uses BiDi transceiver modules that double the capacity of the fiber.
