Transition CBFTF1035-105 10/100 Bridging 100BFX SC 100BTX100BFX

Product Description

The Transition CBFTF1035-105 is a robust media converter designed to facilitate seamless connectivity between different network media types. It operates at speeds of 10Mbps and 100Mbps, making it compatible with Fast Ethernet networks. The primary function of this device is to convert signals between twisted-pair copper Ethernet (100BTX) and multimode or single-mode fiber optic (100BFX) cabling. This allows network administrators to extend network distances far beyond the typical 100-meter limit of copper Ethernet, leveraging the inherent advantages of fiber optics. The converter features a standard RJ45 connector for its 100BTX copper interface, allowing easy connection to standard Ethernet switches, hubs, or network interface cards. On the fiber optic side, it utilizes SC connectors, which are widely adopted for their secure and reliable connection. The 100BFX designation indicates that it operates over fiber optic cable, providing benefits such as immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI), reduced signal degradation over long distances, and enhanced security. This media converter is particularly useful in environments where network segments need to be connected across significant distances or in areas with high levels of electrical noise. Applications include connecting buildings in a campus network, extending network reach in industrial plants, or bridging network segments in metropolitan area networks (MANs). The CBFTF1035-105 ensures reliable data transmission and interoperability between copper and fiber-based network infrastructure.
