Transition CGETF1013-105 GE 1 x RJ-45 , 1 x SC 1000BT, 1000BSX 500 m

Product Description

The Transition CGETF1013-105 serves as a crucial component in modern network deployments, particularly where different cabling standards need to interconnect. Its primary function is to convert data signals between copper-based Ethernet networks utilizing RJ-45 connectors and fiber optic networks employing SC connectors. This allows for the extension of network reach and the enhancement of network performance by leveraging the benefits of fiber optics, such as immunity to electromagnetic interference and higher bandwidth capabilities over longer distances. This media converter is engineered to support Gigabit Ethernet speeds, specifically adhering to the 1000BASE-T standard for its copper interface and the 1000BASE-SX standard for its multimode fiber optic interface. The 1000BASE-T specification enables data transmission at up to 1000 Megabits per second over standard Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables, while 1000BASE-SX is designed for high-speed data transfer over multimode fiber optic cables, typically up to 550 meters depending on the fiber type and modal bandwidth. The SC connector provides a secure and reliable physical connection for the fiber optic link. With a maximum transmission distance of 500 meters for its fiber optic port, the CGETF1013-105 is ideal for connecting network devices within a building, across a campus, or in environments where electrical interference might compromise copper cabling. Its robust design ensures reliable operation, making it a valuable tool for network administrators looking to expand their network infrastructure, upgrade existing links, or create resilient connections between disparate network segments. The device typically requires a power source and may feature status indicator LEDs for easy monitoring of network activity and link status.
