Transition C3210-1029-A1 Media Converter 2 20km 1000BT1000BLX

Product Description

The Transition C3210-1029-A1 is a robust Gigabit Ethernet media converter designed to bridge the gap between copper and single-mode fiber optic networks. This device allows for the transmission of 1000 Mbps Ethernet data over extended distances using fiber optics, overcoming the distance limitations of standard copper Ethernet cabling. It is particularly useful for connecting networks across campuses, between buildings, or in environments where fiber optic infrastructure is already in place or required for its inherent advantages. The converter features a standard 1000BASE-T port with an RJ45 connector, compatible with Cat5e/Cat6 Ethernet cables, supporting distances up to 100 meters. On the fiber side, it utilizes a 1000BASE-LX interface with an SC duplex connector, designed for single-mode fiber optic cable. This configuration enables data transmission over significantly longer distances, up to 20 kilometers, making it ideal for metropolitan area networks (MANs) or long-haul enterprise connections. With its ability to convert electrical signals to optical signals and vice versa, the C3210-1029-A1 provides a reliable and efficient solution for network expansion and integration. It supports full-duplex operation and adheres to relevant IEEE standards, ensuring interoperability with other networking equipment. The compact design and external power adapter make it easy to deploy in various network setups.
