Transition CRMFE1029-200 Slide-In-SC 100BFX UTP Fiber Media Converter

Product Description

The Transition CRMFE1029-200 is a high-performance media converter module designed to seamlessly integrate into chassis-based systems, enabling the conversion of standard copper-based Ethernet (UTP) to multi-mode fiber optic (100BaseFX) signals. This allows network administrators to extend the reach of their Fast Ethernet networks far beyond the typical 100-meter limit of copper cabling, leveraging the greater distances and immunity to electromagnetic interference offered by fiber optics. This module specifically supports 10/100Mbps auto-negotiation on the UTP port, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of Ethernet devices. The fiber optic side utilizes the 100BaseFX standard, operating at a wavelength of 1310nm over multi-mode fiber, typically terminated with SC connectors. This conversion is essential for connecting network segments across buildings, campuses, or large facilities where copper cabling is impractical or insufficient. As a slide-in module, the CRMFE1029-200 is designed for easy installation and management within compatible media converter chassis. This modular approach allows for flexible deployment and efficient use of rack space. It is an ideal solution for extending network connectivity to remote locations, connecting different network backbones, or upgrading existing infrastructure to incorporate the benefits of fiber optics for increased bandwidth and distance capabilities.
