sbbamafan 0 Posted June 12, 2008 What is the best way to connect 8 cameras to a multimode fiberoptic line. My company does not do any fiber work (and will not start on this particular project) I want the fiber vendor to supply a connector/ termination device but do not know what to ask for. All the cameras are within a short distance of the fiber line. I would like to pull the cameras (either Cat5 or coax) to one point and tie in together. What will I need and who manufactures the devices I need; where can I buy them; and what kind of cost are we talking about? Thanks for your help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wisp_engineer 0 Posted June 18, 2008 If I have time tomorrow I'll check my catalog out to see what is out there. I know I might get slammed for this, but is there any reason why you cannot run IP cameras? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sbbamafan 0 Posted June 18, 2008 We could use IP cameras. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thewireguys 3 Posted June 18, 2008 If your going to use IP cameras you could use something like this Zyxel.com Its a 8 port gigabit switch with 1 SFP port. It also has full POE for the cameras. on the other end you could use one if there Media Converter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wisp_engineer 0 Posted June 18, 2008 If you can use IP cameras, Blackbox and other manufacturers make media converters. I've used blackbox converters for copper to fiber to copper ethernet conversion. They work great, and they are backed with a super warrenty. Otherwise, I see in my ADI catalog (yea yea yea, don't give me any crap ) that they have a few products made by IFS for GE that would work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
acableconnection 0 Posted August 11, 2008 sometimes these "media converters" as posted above are also called "transceivers" if this helps Used them plenty in the network field http://www.supercircuits.com/Video-Baluns/FOTS-1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattFisher 0 Posted August 31, 2008 If it's multimode fibre 62.5 then ask for ST conectors. If your going to use analog cameras and run them to a fibre converter with coax, I have used both of these and they work fine sorry cannot post links yet: www(dot)ifs(dot)com www(dot)osd(dot)com(dot)au If your going to use IP cameras then as mentioned previously run them in Cat5e to a POE switch with a fibre port.
