Transition E-TBT-FRL-05(SCHT) Standalone 10BT SC 10BFL Media Converter

Product Description

The Transition Networks E-TBT-FRL-05(SCHT) is a standalone media converter designed for basic Ethernet connectivity, specifically converting 10BASE-T copper signals to 10BASE-FL fiber optic signals. This model is suitable for extending network reach in environments where only 10Mbps Ethernet is required, but longer distances or immunity to electrical interference are needed. The converter utilizes an RJ45 connector for the 10BASE-T copper connection and an SC connector for the 10BASE-FL fiber optic link. The 10BASE-FL standard operates at 850nm wavelength over multimode fiber, allowing for network extension over distances typically up to 2 kilometers. This makes it a cost-effective solution for connecting devices or segments in industrial settings, building backbones, or campus networks where older 10Mbps infrastructure is still in place. As a standalone unit, it is designed for easy deployment and can be used individually or in pairs to establish a fiber optic link between two Ethernet devices. The 'SCHT' designation likely indicates specific features or packaging, possibly related to the SC connector type and a specific fiber optic transmission mode. It requires an external power supply to operate.
