Transition E-TBT-FRL-05(XCHT)NA Media Converter SC 10BT10Base-FL 20km

Product Description

The Transition E-TBT-FRL-05(XCHT)NA media converter is designed to bridge the gap between legacy 10 Mbps Ethernet networks utilizing twisted-pair copper cabling and fiber optic networks. This device is particularly useful in environments where electromagnetic interference (EMI) is a concern, as fiber optic cables are immune to such disturbances. It allows for the extension of network reach significantly beyond the 100-meter limit of standard Ethernet copper cables. The converter supports the 10Base-T standard for its copper interface, typically using an RJ45 connector. On the fiber optic side, it utilizes the 10Base-FL standard with SC connectors, operating at a wavelength of 850nm. This configuration is designed for multimode fiber, enabling data transmission over distances up to 20 kilometers. The ability to operate in both half-duplex and full-duplex modes on the copper port provides flexibility in network design and compatibility with various network devices. Installation and management are simplified through features like automatic MDI/MDI-X detection on the copper port, which eliminates the need for specific crossover cables. The unit is equipped with status LEDs that provide visual feedback on power, link status, and data activity, aiding in network monitoring and troubleshooting. The E-TBT-FRL-05(XCHT)NA comes with an external power adapter, making it easy to integrate into existing network infrastructure.
