  • Plug-and-play with RS-485 control ready

Mini HD-SDI fiber converter kit

The BENESTON VCF-HMF01TX/RX-E pairs a transmitter and receiver to extend SD, HD or 3G-SDI signals over single-mode fiber. Automatic input detection handles the three SDI standards without manual setup. The transmitter provides a 3G-SDI loop-through while the receiver delivers dual 3G-SDI outputs. LC connectors and an SFP interface complete the link up to 20 km.

For broadcast and CCTV installers needing long runs

Installers who need to bridge cameras, switchers or recorders across distances that copper cannot reach will appreciate the plug-and-play operation and RS-485 pass-through for remote device control. The kit includes both power adapters so the link is operational immediately. Users who require multimode fiber, HDMI or DisplayPort interfaces, or IP-based streaming should consider other solutions.

Single-mode LC fiber up to 20 km

The link is defined by single-mode fiber terminated with LC connectors and a maximum reach of 20 km. This distance and connector type decide whether the converter matches the existing cabling plant. No other specification in the data overrides this constraint.

Questions about this item

Does my existing single-mode LC fiber patch cable work with this converter's SFP modules?

Yes, the transmitter and receiver both use LC single-mode fiber connectors, so a standard LC patch cable will connect them directly.

Will the receiver's dual 3G-SDI outputs carry the same signal my older HD-SDI monitor expects?

The receiver provides two 3G-SDI outputs; the transmitter auto-detects SD, HD and 3G-SDI input, so an older HD-SDI source passes through unchanged.

How can I confirm the link is live after connecting transmitter, receiver and power adapters?

The units are plug-and-play — once both power adapters are connected and fiber is linked, the SDI loop-out on the transmitter and the dual outputs on the receiver will carry active video.
