NovaStar CVT4K-M Fiber Converter Overview
The NovaStar CVT4K-M is a professional LED display fiber converter designed to carry control signals over distances of up to 300 m. It converts signals between Gigabit Ethernet over twisted-pair cable and 850 nm multimode optical fiber, helping reduce interference and simplify long-distance wiring for LED screen systems.
The unit combines 16 Neutrik RJ45 ports with four LC optical ports. Two optical paths serve as the main inputs and outputs, while the other two provide backup paths. Internal dual-power redundancy adds reliability for installations where signal continuity matters.

How the Main and Backup Fiber Paths Work
The CVT4K-M supports four multimode twin-core optical fiber connections with LC connectors. Two connections are assigned to the main input and output paths, and two are reserved as backup paths. This design gives installers a practical way to add signal-path redundancy without complicating the rack layout.
Typical Applications
The NovaStar CVT4K-M is suited to LED display projects that need stable signal delivery beyond the practical reach of copper cabling. Typical uses include:
- Rental and touring LED screens
- Stage, event and broadcast installations
- Fixed indoor or outdoor LED displays
- Control rooms and monitoring centers
- Sports venues and large public displays
