Transition C2220-1013 Media Converter RJ45 SC 1000BT100Base-FX 2km

Product Description

The Transition C2220-1013 is a specialized media converter designed to interconnect Gigabit Ethernet (1000BT) networks running over copper twisted-pair cabling with Fast Ethernet (100Base-FX) networks utilizing multimode fiber optic cables. It features an RJ45 port for the Gigabit Ethernet connection and SC connectors for the 100Base-FX fiber optic link, supporting distances of up to 2 kilometers. This unique combination allows for the integration of higher-speed copper networks with established fiber optic infrastructure, albeit at a reduced speed on the fiber side. This converter is particularly useful in scenarios where a Gigabit Ethernet source needs to connect to a network segment that is limited to 100 Mbps over fiber, or for extending a Gigabit Ethernet network where fiber is required for distance or interference reasons, but the fiber infrastructure itself is only rated for 100 Mbps. It provides a bridge between different speed standards and media types, ensuring network connectivity and data flow. The C2220-1013 offers a practical solution for network upgrades or expansions where full Gigabit speeds over fiber are not immediately feasible or necessary. Its robust design ensures reliable operation in enterprise environments, facilitating data transmission over the specified distances with the benefits of fiber optics, such as immunity to EMI and enhanced security. The SC connectors provide a secure and stable fiber optic connection.
