Transition E-100BTX-FX-05(102) Single SC 100BFX UTP Media Converter

Product Description

The Transition E-100BTX-FX-05(102) media converter provides a cost-effective solution for extending Fast Ethernet networks over multi-mode fiber optic cabling. It allows for the connection of standard twisted-pair Ethernet devices to fiber optic networks, offering benefits such as increased distance, immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI), and enhanced security. The converter supports both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps speeds on the copper port through auto-negotiation, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of network equipment. This model features a single SC connector for the fiber optic interface, simplifying connections in environments where only one fiber strand is available or required for the specific application. It operates at a wavelength of 1310 nm and is designed for multi-mode fiber, enabling network extensions of up to 2 kilometers. This makes it suitable for applications within buildings, campuses, or industrial complexes where copper Ethernet limitations are encountered. The E-100BTX-FX-05(102) includes essential LED indicators for monitoring the status of the power, link, and activity on both the copper and fiber ports, facilitating troubleshooting. Its compact form factor and external power adapter make it easy to deploy in various locations, including desktop environments or within network cabinets. The converter supports half and full-duplex operation on the fiber port, providing flexibility for different network configurations.
