Product Description
The E-100BTX-FX-05(SM) media converter from Transition Networks is designed to bridge the gap between Fast Ethernet copper wiring (100Base-TX) and single-mode fiber optic cabling (100Base-FX). This device is essential for extending network connectivity beyond the typical 100-meter limit of twisted-pair copper cables, enabling data transmission over significantly longer distances. The use of single-mode fiber allows for higher bandwidth and greater reach compared to multimode fiber, making it suitable for campus networks, metropolitan area networks (MANs), and inter-building connections. The converter supports 100 Mbps speeds in full-duplex mode on both the copper (RJ-45) and fiber (SC connector) interfaces. This ensures efficient data transfer for bandwidth-intensive applications. The automatic MDI/MDI-X feature on the copper port simplifies network setup by automatically detecting the required cable type (straight-through or crossover), eliminating the need for manual cable selection. Comprehensive LED indicators provide real-time status information, including power, link activity for both copper and fiber ports, and duplex status, aiding in network monitoring and troubleshooting. With its compact form factor and wall-mountable design, the E-100BTX-FX-05(SM) is easy to integrate into various network closets and distribution points. It operates reliably within a specified temperature range and requires an external power supply. This media converter is a cost-effective solution for upgrading existing copper-based networks to leverage the benefits of fiber optics, such as increased distance, enhanced security, and immunity to electromagnetic interference.
