Transition C2110-1011 Media Converter RJ45 ST 100BTX100Base-FX 2km

Product Description

The Transition C2110-1011 is a versatile Fast Ethernet media converter designed to bridge the gap between copper Ethernet cabling and fiber optic cabling. It allows a standard 10/100Base-TX Ethernet connection, terminated with an RJ45 connector, to be extended over a fiber optic link using the 100Base-FX standard. This is crucial for extending network reach beyond the limitations of copper cables (typically 100 meters). This specific model utilizes ST connectors for its fiber optic interface, which is a common type of fiber optic connector known for its bayonet-style coupling. It supports transmission distances of up to 2 kilometers over multimode fiber, making it suitable for connecting buildings within a campus, extending networks across large facilities, or bridging network segments in industrial environments. The converter operates at 100Mbps, providing Fast Ethernet speeds. The C2110-1011 typically features auto-negotiation capabilities on the copper port, allowing it to automatically detect the speed (10 or 100 Mbps) and duplex mode (half or full) of the connected device. Its plug-and-play nature simplifies installation, requiring minimal configuration. This media converter is an essential tool for network administrators looking to upgrade or extend their existing Ethernet infrastructure using the benefits of fiber optics.
