20KM Gigabit Fiber Transceiver The Hikvision DS-3D501T-A is a Gigabit fiber optical transceiver designed to extend Ethernet network connections over single-mode fiber for distances of up to 20 km. With one 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet port and one 1000 Mbps SC fiber port, it provides a practical way to connect network equipment across longer distances while reducing the need for copper cabling.
The integrated single-mode, single-fiber design uses wavelength division multiplexing, with 1310 nm transmission and 1550 nm reception. This allows bidirectional data transmission over a single fiber strand, helping reduce cabling requirements and installation costs. The compact metal housing also provides improved heat dissipation for dependable operation in a range of environments.
Description
The Hikvision DS-3D501T-A Gigabit fiber transceiver provides fast Ethernet-to-fiber connectivity for network installations requiring extended transmission distances. It supports automatic 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet connectivity on the RJ45 side and Gigabit optical communication through its SC fiber interface.
Its plug-and-play design requires no complicated configuration, making it suitable for straightforward network expansion and fiber uplinks. The industrial-style metal enclosure, wide operating temperature range and 4 kV surge protection add durability for installations where stable network connectivity is important.
The single-fiber optical design is particularly useful where minimizing fiber usage is a priority. With a transmission distance of up to 20 km, the DS-3D501T-A can be used for connecting network equipment between buildings, remote locations, surveillance installations and other distributed network environments.
