Transition E-100BTX-FX-05(SM)-NA Media Converter SC 100BFX 20km

Product Description

The Transition Networks E-100BTX-FX-05(SM)-NA is a Fast Ethernet media converter designed to bridge the gap between copper Ethernet cabling and fiber optic cabling. This device allows network administrators to extend network distances beyond the limitations of standard copper Ethernet (typically 100 meters) by converting the electrical signals from a 100Base-TX port into optical signals suitable for transmission over fiber optic cable. This specific model features a 100Base-TX port with an RJ45 connector for the copper side and a 100Base-FX port for the fiber optic side. The fiber port utilizes SC connectors, which are common and robust for fiber optic connections. It is designed for use with multimode fiber (MMF) and can support network links up to 2 kilometers (approximately 0.5 miles) in length. This makes it suitable for connecting devices within a building, across a campus, or in industrial environments where longer distances or immunity to electromagnetic interference are required. The E-100BTX-FX-05(SM)-NA operates at a speed of 100 Mbps, adhering to the Fast Ethernet standard. Its primary function is to provide a cost-effective solution for network expansion and connectivity where different media types need to be interconnected. By converting signals, it ensures seamless communication between devices connected via copper and those connected via fiber, enhancing network flexibility and reach.
