Blackmagic Mini Converter Optical Fiber 12G is a compact converter that extends SDI connections over massive distances by converting SDI to optical fiber and optical fiber to SDI in both directions at the same time. Using the new Blackmagic Mini Converter Optical Fiber 12G is an affordable way to increase camera coverage at live events because it lets broadcasters place cameras up to 10 miles away from their switchers, routers, and decks using low cost optical fiber cable. That makes it perfect for placing cameras around any studio, for use at outdoor sporting events or even concerts and theatrical performances in large venues. The converter is also bi directional which means that it can simultaneously send different video formats in different directions at the same time. Depending on the video format being used, signals can be sent up to 10 miles away from the source. Plus, the advanced 12G-SDI connections on Mini Converter Optical Fiber 12G are multi rate. That means they automatically detect the video signal and switch speeds so they are compatible with all SD, HD and Ultra HD formats and equipment up to 2160p60, including Level A and B devices. Mini Converter Optical Fiber 12G features a standard SFP type socket that lets customers add any SMPTE compatible 3G, 6G or 12G-SDI SFP module. I Review: It just worked.

Insert appropriate fiber cable between the two to extend your SDI signal from source to destination. **Q: What would I need to get the optical in/out to ST fiber connections?** A: This does not come with any SFP for the optical connection. Blackmagic and others sell them (there are different ones for 3G, 6G and 12G) but normally they are LC not ST fiber connections. **Q: Do you have to use the blackmagic SFP or can you use your own??** A: we are offering Fieldcast SPF. thanks, hdvparts ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***A on 11 March 2026* It just worked. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***Y on 17 August 2023* made interconect much more easy ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***K on 24 November 2025* Works great, use 12G SDi cables with them, and get the appropriate fiber connectors. ## Frequently Bought Together - Blackmagic Design Mini Converter Optical Fiber 12G - Blackmagic Design 3G BD SFP Optical Module/Adapter, Duplex LC Connectors - Jeirdus 50M LC to LC Outdoor Armored Duplex 9/125 SM Fiber Optic Cable Jumper Optical Patch Cord Singlemode 50Meters 160ft LC-LC --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/266273398-blackmagic-design-mini-converter-optical-fiber-12g-sdi](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/266273398-blackmagic-design-mini-converter-optical-fiber-12g-sdi) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
