Transition CSRFB1014-100 Point System Device ST 100BTX100Base-FX 20km

Product Description

The Transition CSRFB1014-100 is a Fast Ethernet media converter designed to extend network reach by converting signals between copper and fiber optic media. It allows a 100 Mbps Ethernet network using standard RJ45 connectors to connect to a fiber optic network utilizing ST connectors. This converter supports 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet on its copper side, providing compatibility with most standard Ethernet devices and switches. The fiber optic side operates as 100Base-FX, employing an ST duplex connector. The use of single-mode fiber and a 1310nm wavelength enables significantly longer transmission distances compared to multimode fiber. With a maximum fiber transmission distance of 20 kilometers, this media converter is ideal for connecting network segments across larger campuses, between buildings, or in metropolitan area network (MAN) deployments where extended reach is required. Its ability to bridge copper and single-mode fiber makes it a versatile solution for network infrastructure upgrades and extensions, offering improved performance and reliability over long distances.
