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

Product Description

The Transition E-100BTX-FX-05(LC)NA is a robust media converter designed to bridge the gap between copper Ethernet and fiber optic networks. It is specifically engineered to extend the reach of Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) connections, allowing for data transmission over significantly longer distances than is possible with standard copper cabling. This is achieved by converting the electrical signals used in 100Base-TX Ethernet over twisted-pair cable into optical signals for transmission over 100Base-FX fiber optic cable. This particular model features an LC fiber optic connector, a common and reliable interface for fiber connections. It supports a maximum fiber optic transmission distance of up to 2 kilometers, making it suitable for campus networks, large industrial facilities, or connecting buildings within a limited geographical area. The converter also includes auto-negotiation capabilities on its copper port, simplifying setup and ensuring compatibility with various network devices. With support for both full-duplex and half-duplex operation, the E-100BTX-FX-05(LC)NA offers flexibility in network configuration. Comprehensive LED indicators provide at-a-glance status information for both the copper and fiber links, aiding in troubleshooting and network monitoring. This media converter is an essential component for network expansion projects requiring the security, immunity to interference, and extended reach that fiber optics provide.
