Transition E-100BTX-FX-05(LC)-NA Media Converter LC 100BTX 2km

Product Description

The Transition E-100BTX-FX-05(LC)-NA is a high-performance Fast Ethernet media converter designed to seamlessly integrate copper and fiber optic networks. It facilitates the extension of network segments by converting electrical signals from a 100Base-TX twisted-pair connection to optical signals for transmission over 100Base-FX fiber optic cabling. This capability is essential for overcoming the distance limitations of copper Ethernet, which typically maxes out at 100 meters. This model specifically uses an LC connector for its fiber optic interface, a popular choice known for its small form factor and secure locking mechanism, making it suitable for high-density applications. The converter supports multimode fiber, allowing for network extensions up to 2 kilometers, which is ample for most campus or building backbone applications. The copper side features an RJ45 port that supports 100 Mbps speeds and often includes auto-negotiation capabilities for ease of integration. Designed for reliability and ease of use, the E-100BTX-FX-05(LC)-NA typically comes with an external power adapter and may offer features like status LEDs for quick diagnostics. Its compact size allows for flexible deployment, potentially including wall mounting options. This media converter is an effective solution for upgrading existing networks, enhancing network resilience against electromagnetic interference, and extending connectivity to remote locations within a facility.
