The Colorlight H16F fiber optic transceiver connects Gigabit Ethernet signals and fiber optic links in an LED display control system. Colorlight specifies 16 RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports and two 10G fiber interfaces, with data links up to 20 Gb/s. It is a fiber signal device, so choose the sender, receiver cards, fiber modules and cabling for your complete system separately.
Key features
- 16 Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports for Ethernet signal input or output.
- Two 10G fiber interfaces with full-duplex LC connections.
- Single-mode twin-core fiber and distributed feedback (DFB) laser diode.
- 1 km fiber modules in the specification; 20 km fiber modules are optional.
- Hot-pluggable fiber modules and a laser design specified for Class 1 eye safety.

Planning a fiber link
Match the fiber modules and LC connectors to the intended distance and fiber type. Check the sending device, receiving equipment and port configuration before ordering. Colorlight’s H16F specification illustrates use with a Z6 sender; compatibility with another controller should be confirmed for that installation.
Frequently asked questions
How many Ethernet and fiber ports does the H16F have?
It has 16 Gigabit RJ45 ports and two 10G fiber interfaces, according to the H16F specification.
What transmission distance does it support?
The specification lists a 1 km fiber module and an optional 20 km fiber module. Actual deployment distance depends on the selected modules and fiber link.
Does the H16F process or send video by itself?
The H16F is specified as a fiber optic transceiver with Ethernet and fiber signal interfaces. Select a compatible LED sender or controller as part of the full system.
