Colorlight OP1 fiber transceiver overview
The Colorlight OP1 converts an Ethernet twisted-pair signal to an optical Ethernet signal for an LED display control link. Its specification lists one 10/100/1000Base-T RJ45 port and one 1000Base-X SC single-mode optical port, with an optical transmission distance of up to 10 km. It is a signal converter, not an LED video processor or receiving card.

How it fits into an LED control link
Use the OP1 when an Ethernet connection in the control signal path must travel over compatible single-mode fiber. The unit converts between copper Ethernet and optical Ethernet; the far end must provide a matching optical interface or transceiver. Confirm the SC connector, fiber specification, optical link arrangement and equipment compatibility for the complete installation.
The specification lists IEEE 802.3i, 802.3j, 802.3u, 802.3z and 802.3ab support, link-fault pass-through (LFP), status LEDs, and port/power surge protection. The stated 10 km distance is a specification limit; actual deployment depends on the fiber path and matched equipment.
Frequently asked questions
Does the OP1 have an RJ45 port?
Yes. The specification lists one 10/100/1000Base-T RJ45 port and one 1000Base-X SC optical port.
What power supply does it require?
The specified input is DC 5 V, 1 A. Verify the supplied adapter and local power requirements before installation.
Is the optical distance always 10 km?
Up to 10 km is the specified single-mode fiber distance. Confirm the full optical link and connected equipment for your project.
