What is the NovaStar CVTX-S?
If you are pricing a NovaStar CVTX-S into a job, the honest position is that it is a fiber converter with no published NovaStar specification behind it yet. This page exists so you can find the model, ask to be told at release, and read only what can be stated without invented figures.
The suffix gives you the one reliable clue. Right across NovaStar’s fiber range, from the CVT10 to the CVT4K and the CVT8-5G, -S marks the single-mode build. On that pattern, the CVTX-S you are waiting on would be the long-distance half of its pair.
Reach, port count, optical rate and connector type all remain unpublished. A long single-mode route is usually costed around the civils, the digging and duct work, so putting your budget behind provisional numbers is a poor trade while documented models are already shipping. A cable order you have to place twice costs more than the converter did.
What we can confirm about the CVTX-S today
You will not find a NovaStar specification document in circulation for the CVTX-S, and we hold no datasheet, manual or firmware for it either. Nothing about ports, distance or controller compatibility reaches this page until we can trace it to a NovaStar source.
There is no price for you here, and no stock position. The CVTX-S is not shipping from us, so any lead time we printed would be invention rather than a commitment we could keep for you.
Figures circulating ahead of a release are provisional by nature. Port counts and optical arrangements are exactly the details that get revised between an announcement and a shipping product, and a fiber order you place against them is expensive to undo. That is the mistake worth your trouble to avoid.
When NovaStar publishes, you get this page rebuilt the same way as the rest of the category: verified specifications, the fiber the model genuinely needs, and a straight comparison against its siblings.
What to order today for a single-mode run
What you order comes down to how many ports arrive at your far end and how far the route runs. Every model below is documented, priced and shipping.
| Model | Ethernet ports | Single-mode reach | Choose it when | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVT320 | 1 at 1G | 20 km | One controller output crosses town; the longest reach in the range | $176 |
| CVT10-S | 10 at 1G | 10 km | A wall needs several ports at distance, from a dry indoor rack | $1,150 |
| CVT10 Pro-S | 10 at 1G | 10 km | The same ten ports, but the far end is rigged or exposed | $2,137 |
| CVT4K-S | 16 at 1G | 10 km | Sixteen ports with redundant power and a mapped backup path | $2,938 |
| CVT-Rack320 | Up to 16 at 1G | 15 km | The ports serve separate buildings rather than one screen | Request a quote |
| CVT8-5GS | 8 at 5G | 10 km | The cabinets run XA50 Pro or CA50E cards behind a 40G output card | $4,029 |
The port column narrows your options first, then the reach column settles them. Only the CVT8-5GS belongs to the 5G architecture, and only the CVT-Rack320 is built to feed many destinations rather than one wall.
If your route turns out to be multimode, none of these will fit it. Mode is set by the glass already in the ground, so a multimode site starts you at the CVT10-M or the CVT310 instead.
NovaStar CVTX-S FAQ
Can I buy a CVTX-S now?
No, the CVTX-S has no published price and it is not shipping from us. Send us your requirement and we will come back to you at release.
What are the CVTX-S specifications?
NovaStar has not published CVTX-S specifications. You will not see distances, port counts or optical rates for this model here without a document behind them.
Does the S mean single-mode?
That is the convention you see across the NovaStar fiber range, where -S is the single-mode build and -M the multimode one. Treat it as a naming pattern rather than a released specification.
How far will it reach?
How far it reaches is unpublished. Among the shipping models you can buy today, the CVT320 reaches 20 km on one port and the CVT10-S reaches 10 km on ten.
What should I specify for a project starting now?
Specify a CVT10-S if your wall needs several ports at distance, a CVT320 where one Ethernet run is enough, or a CVT4K-S where sixteen ports and redundancy are required.
Will it work with my controller?
Whether it works with your controller is not answerable yet. A fiber link depends on the optical rate and the mode at both ends, and neither figure has been released for this model.
Can you tell me when it lands?
Yes, we can tell you once NovaStar confirms. Send the model name and your project, and we will come back with pricing and availability at release.
What warranty will apply?
Three years of serial-tracked manufacturer coverage is the warranty you get on the NovaStar products we supply through our authorized US channel, and we expect that to continue here.
Can I get volume pricing or Net 30 terms?
Yes, on the shipping models, so volume pricing is worth asking about there. Purchase orders and Net 30 terms may be available for approved schools, government buyers, venues and established integrators.
How do I order the alternatives?
You order each alternative from its own page, and every model in the table carries a published price apart from the CVT-Rack320, which is quoted by channel count. Orders placed before 3 PM ET on in-stock items ship the same business day. Contact us to confirm current availability.
