Transition J/E-PSW-FX-03101-NA Just Conver Media Converter SC 100BTX

Product Description

The Transition Networks J/E-PSW-FX-03101-NA is a Fast Ethernet media converter designed to bridge the connectivity gap between copper-based Ethernet networks and fiber optic networks. This device translates signals from a 100Base-TX twisted-pair copper interface (RJ45 connector) to a 100Base-FX fiber optic interface (SC connector), enabling network extensions beyond the typical 100-meter limit of copper cabling. This specific model utilizes multimode fiber and is rated for transmission distances of up to 310 meters (approximately 1017 feet). This makes it suitable for applications within a single building, such as connecting different floors, departments, or security zones where a moderate extension of network reach is required. The use of fiber optics also provides immunity to electromagnetic interference, which is beneficial in industrial or electrically noisy environments. Operating at a full-duplex 100 Mbps speed, the J/E-PSW-FX-03101-NA ensures efficient data transfer. It complies with industry standards like IEEE 802.3 and 802.3u, ensuring compatibility with standard Ethernet equipment. The 'PSW' in the model name likely indicates that it includes its own power supply, and 'FX' confirms its fiber optic capability. This media converter offers a straightforward and cost-effective solution for extending Fast Ethernet networks using fiber optic technology over short to medium distances.
