Transition C/E-100BTX-FX-05(SM) Slide-In-SC 100BFX UTP Media Converter

Product Description

The Transition C/E-100BTX-FX-05(SM) is a specialized media converter module designed to integrate into a multi-slot media converter chassis from Transition Networks. This 'Slide-In' format allows for high-density deployments where multiple converters can be housed within a single chassis, simplifying management and reducing rack space requirements. The module itself performs Fast Ethernet media conversion, translating signals between 100Base-TX copper twisted-pair and 100Base-FX single-mode fiber optic cabling. This particular module utilizes an SC connector for its single-mode fiber interface, enabling network extensions up to 5 kilometers. Single-mode fiber is chosen for its ability to carry signals over longer distances with less signal loss and dispersion compared to multimode fiber, making this module suitable for campus backbones or inter-building connectivity. The copper side features an RJ45 port operating at 100 Mbps. The 'C/E-' prefix likely indicates a specific series or compatibility within the Transition Networks product line, and the '(SM)' clearly denotes single-mode fiber support. This module is an efficient solution for network expansion where fiber optic connectivity is required over moderate distances, offering the benefits of fiber such as immunity to EMI and enhanced security. It requires a compatible chassis and power supply to operate, providing a modular and scalable approach to media conversion.
