Transition E-100BTX-FX-05(103) Single SC 100BFX UTP Media Converter

Product Description

The Transition E-100BTX-FX-05(103) media converter serves as a vital link between copper-based Fast Ethernet segments and multi-mode fiber optic networks. It enables network administrators to extend the reach of their existing Ethernet infrastructure beyond the typical 100-meter limit of copper cables, leveraging the advantages of fiber optics such as immunity to electromagnetic interference and increased bandwidth potential. This converter supports both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps speeds on the copper side through auto-negotiation, ensuring compatibility with legacy and modern network devices. This specific model utilizes a single SC connector for its fiber optic interface, making it suitable for applications where a simplex fiber connection is sufficient or required. It operates at a 1310 nm wavelength and is designed for use with multi-mode fiber, providing network connectivity up to a distance of 2 kilometers. This range is adequate for intra-building or short-campus network extensions. The E-100BTX-FX-05(103) is equipped with status LEDs that provide clear visual feedback on the operational state of the device, including power, link status, and data activity for both the copper and fiber ports. Its compact and lightweight design, coupled with an external power adapter, allows for flexible placement and easy integration into network closets or work areas. The converter supports half and full-duplex modes on the fiber port, offering adaptability to various network requirements.
