Transition E-TEL-FRL-1200(SC) 10BT 10BFL 10BT SC 10BFL Media Converter

Product Description

The E-TEL-FRL-1200(SC) from Transition Networks is a Fast Ethernet media converter designed to facilitate communication between 10Base-T Ethernet networks operating over copper cabling and 10Base-FL fiber optic networks. This device serves as a bridge, converting the electrical signals from the copper UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) Ethernet port into optical signals suitable for transmission over fiber optic cable, and vice versa. The converter features a standard 10Base-T RJ45 port for the copper side, supporting data rates of 10 Mbps. On the fiber optic side, it utilizes an SC connector, a widely adopted standard for fiber optic connections, ensuring a secure and reliable link. The 10Base-FL designation indicates that it is designed for fiber optic transmission at 10 Mbps, commonly used for extending network segments beyond the limitations of copper cabling, especially in environments prone to electromagnetic interference. This media converter is particularly useful for extending existing Fast Ethernet networks over longer distances or into areas where electrical isolation is required. It provides a cost-effective solution for connecting network devices or segments that are geographically separated, such as linking buildings on a campus or extending connectivity within a large industrial facility. The SC connector ensures compatibility with a broad range of fiber optic infrastructure.
