Product Description

The Transition E-100BTX-FX-N-01(SC) is a specialized network interface card that integrates media conversion directly onto a PCI expansion slot. It effectively transforms a computer or server equipped with a PCI bus into a bridge between copper-based Ethernet (10/100Base-TX) and fiber optic networks (100Base-FX). This allows for direct connection to fiber optic infrastructure without the need for an external standalone media converter. The card features a standard RJ45 connector for the copper Ethernet connection and SC duplex connectors for the fiber optic link. The 100Base-FX standard operates at 100Mbps over fiber, and the SC connectors provide a robust physical interface. The 'N-01' in the part number often denotes specific features or revisions, and '(SC)' confirms the use of SC connectors. This card is typically designed for multimode fiber, enabling network extensions up to 2 kilometers. This PCI card is particularly useful for upgrading older systems or for specific server applications where direct fiber connectivity is required and an external converter is undesirable. By converting the signal to fiber, it extends the network's reach significantly beyond the 100-meter limit of copper Ethernet and provides immunity to electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for industrial environments or connecting buildings across a campus.
