Transition C2210-1039 Media COnverter RJ45 LC 100BTX100Base-FX 2km

Product Description

The Transition C2210-1039 is a dedicated Fast Ethernet media converter designed to facilitate communication between copper-based Ethernet networks and fiber optic networks. Specifically, it converts signals from a 10/100Base-TX twisted-pair interface, terminated with an RJ45 connector, to a 100Base-FX multimode fiber optic interface, utilizing an LC connector. This conversion is crucial for extending network connectivity beyond the typical 100-meter limitation of copper Ethernet cables, allowing for distances of up to 2 kilometers over multimode fiber. This media converter is particularly useful in environments such as office buildings, campuses, or industrial facilities where network segments need to be interconnected across moderate distances. The RJ45 port supports auto-negotiation for speed (10/100 Mbps) and duplex mode (half/full), ensuring compatibility with a wide range of Ethernet devices. The 100Base-FX fiber port operates at 100 Mbps in full-duplex mode, providing a high-speed link for data transmission. The use of multimode fiber makes it a cost-effective solution for these shorter-range fiber optic applications. Installation is straightforward, often requiring no configuration. The device typically features diagnostic LEDs that provide visual feedback on power, link status, and activity for both the copper and fiber ports, simplifying network monitoring and troubleshooting. Its compact design allows for flexible deployment, whether placed on a desktop, mounted in a rack with an optional bracket, or even wall-mounted. The C2210-1039 serves as a reliable bridge, enhancing network flexibility and extending reach where needed.
