The black 10/100 Multi-Mode Fiber to Ethernet Media Converter from StarTech is an Ethernet-fiber link that converts to and from 10Base-T or 100Base-Tx Ethernet signals and 100Base-Fx optical signals to extend an Ethernet network connection over an SC-terminated multimode fiber backbone.

The converter supports fiber optic transmissions up to 1.2 miles (2km) that allows you to connect 10Base-T or 100Base-Tx Ethernet networks to remote locations using an SC-terminated multimode fiber cable (sold separately) while delivering solid network performance and scalability.

This versatile Ethernet-to-fiber converter is compatible with most 3COM, Cisco, Lucent, and Nortel networks and fully complies with applicable IEEE 802.3 standards.

Q: 1. Going from an HDMI kanex splitter to a VGA projector wondering if this will work

A: Yes. The following unit will pass through info.

Q: 2. I have an older gateway windows 7 pc only a single gva output. I need a converter to hdmi and a vga splitter to run two monitors?

A: This device simply takes a digital HDMI signal and converts to an analog SVGA output. It will not provide you with any means of running 2 monitors. If you want the same display on 2 monitors you can use a splitter. You will need to buy a splitter that matches whichever output you choose to go with. So, if you buy this device, you will need a splitter that takes a single SVGA input and splits it into 2 XXXX output of your choice. If you are trying to get 2 monitors that Windows (I assume) will see as independent monitors, then you need a graphics card to do so, or device similar to TripleHead2Go (multi monitor adapter). In order to have Windows see independent monitors, you have to have some kind of hardware that will manage 2 monitors (either graphics card, or external graphics processor). I assume you want Windows to see 2 monitors, I recommend a new graphics card to do so.

Q: 3. Does this support a bidi SFP? If so which one/which brands would be compatible?

A: The StarTech Gigabit Ethernet Fiber Media Converter BH #STMCM1110MML does not support BiDi SFP.

Q: 4. Are these hardware version 2 or newer? They need to be to be compatible with the TL-MC1400 and TL-FC1420 rack mount chassis.

A: The TP-Link MC220L Gigabit SFP Media Converter BH #TPMC220L version we are offering are V4.6 or later.

Q: 5. does this support 144hz @ 1920x1080p?

A: No, the DP2DVIS supports a maximum resolution of 1920x1200 @ 60hz. Atha, StarTech.com Support

Q: 6. Would these work with Hikvision 4k cameras in a 200 foot run of coax. And live in an outdoor encloser?

A: The Lorex Coaxial to Ethernet Converter Kit is not rated for outdoor use. However, if you protect the kit in an enclosure it would work. Also, note that Cat6a, and Cat5e cables can be run and work over 200ft. Another good option for your needs is listed below. EverFocus PALUN II Ethernet over Coaxial Converter with PoE BH #EVPALUNII

Q: 7. Hello, I have to connect my vga laptop to my new hdmi TV. This will work ok? thanks

A: This actually goes in the other direction. You would need something like the KanexPro VGA with RCA Audio to HDMI Converter, B&H # KAVGARLHD, instead. https://bhpho.to/2lQLw8S

Q: 8. Will this work on a dvd player to connect to a projector?

A: Technically, yes, it could work, but it all depends on the resolution and frame rate your DVD player outputs. If your DVD player outputs a 1920 x 1080/ 60i video signal, then this converter should recognize the signal and converter it to VGA. However, if your DVD player outputs a standard definition or 720p signal via the HDMI connection, this will not work.

Q: 9. Can I use a bidirectional SFP on this? If so, what brand would be compatible (CISCO, Netgear, etc.)?

A: The TP-Link MC220L Gigabit SFP Media Converter BH #TPMC220L is compatible with: For MC200CM: 850nm For MC210CS: 1310nm For MC220L: depends on the used SFP module For MC200CM: 62.5/125μm multi-mode fiber (≤220m); 50/125μm multi-mode fiber (≤550m) For MC210CS: 9/125μm single-mode fiber (≤15km) For MC220L: depends on the used SFP module It should work with other brands as well.

Q: 10. Can this unit be powered via POE, or does it only supply POE power?

A: The TechLogix Networx TL-MC-1S1RPP Fiber-Based Media Converter with PoE+ (B&H # TETLMC1S1RPP) supplies PoE, but will accept AC input power at 100-240V with the included power adapter.
