Ethernetfiber opticspower

Overview The Amphenol Socapex RES-GMC-1M-FORC Fiber Optic Media Converter is a rugged MIL‑STD Ethernet converter engineered for battlefield fiber extension and remote device control over optical links. It integrates CTOS expanded-beam (STANAG 4290) connectivity and meets MIL‑STD‑461E (EMI), MIL‑STD‑810F/GM (environment), MIL‑STD‑1275 and MIL‑STD‑704A (power protection). The unit can deliver up to 100 A via unit B when used as a power source.

Key features

• Rugged fiber optic media converter / unmanaged Ethernet switch
• Remote control over fiber for deployed systems
• CTOS expanded‑beam interfaces (STANAG 4290)
• EMI and environmental military standards: MIL‑STD‑461E, MIL‑STD‑810F/GM
• Power protection standards: MIL‑STD‑1275, MIL‑STD‑704A
• Multiple power options: DC, AC and PoE modes
• Power output capability: up to 100 A via unit B

Applications

• Tactical fiber‑optic network deployment and extension
• Remote control and management of fielded equipment
• Surveillance, perimeter protection and C5ISR communications
• Integration in vehicle and shelter communication systems

Power & Powering options

• 18–32 V DC input
• 90–265 V AC input (47–65 Hz)
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) as Powered Device mode: receives 48 V from LAN1
• Operates as Power Source Equipment: accepts 18–32 V DC and provides 48 V DC to a terminal device

Optical link considerations Optical power budget depends on transmitter output, receiver sensitivity, connector pair loss and cable type/length. Maximum reach varies with singlemode vs multimode fiber, data rate and chosen standards. Plan link budget accordingly for reliable battlefield operation.

Operation The RES-GMC-1M-FORC functions as an unmanaged, plug‑and‑play Ethernet media converter with fiber ports and remote management over the optical link when integrated with compatible control equipment.
